[...] Text events may also
occur at other times in a track, to be used as lyrics, or descriptions
of cue points. The text in this event should be printable ASCII
characters for maximum interchange. However, other characters codes
using the high-order bit may be used for interchange of files between
different programs on the same computer which supports an extended
character set. Programs on a computer which does not support
non-ASCII characters should ignore those characters.
