[Bug 6493] Re: cdda2wav - cannot cope with accents in CDDB data

[hansalfredche]

First of all, thank you for responding.

The bug I mentioned does not seem to be due to cdda2wav directly, but to
something in my network. But as only cdda2wav (and Icedax, I just tried)
was affected and not other programs (in various versions on various
OS's) it looked like a cdda2wav bug ...

Anyway, what I wanted to say is, as already was proposed by someone
else, it would be nice to consider support for FreeDB protocol 6. From
your description I can see however this would involve some important
changes. As you say, cdda2wav outputs as ISO-8859-1. If FreeDB protocol
6 would be added this would mean changing the output encoding to unicode
(it would not make sense to read information as unicode from FreeDB for
loosing the information afterwards). But this in turn would mean quite
some charset recoding (especially for CD text). Also, as I understand
you, this would also mean serious problems for cdrecord as the input
files could be either ISO-8859-1 or unicode (well, the use of unicode
should probably be specified in the files, but this would still
represent some important changes).

The main gain would by the way not be for writting CD text which has
limited charset support, but when encoding to other formats using
cdda2wav information for writting the tags (flac, mp4, mp3, ... ).
