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

[Schily]

After investigating on this bug report, it turns out that there is no
bug.

CD-Text is _always_ ISO-8859-1, this is why cdda2wav always retrieves
the data in ISO-8859-1

cdda2wav correctly retrieves the information for this CD from FreeDB.
cdda2wav prints the text directly from FreeDB in ISO-8859-1 without recoding.
cdrecord -text -useinfo will correctly write CD-Text data from the retrieved information.

Your problem is that you use a UTF-8 terminal and not a ISO-8859-1
terminal.

CD-Text is unable to deal with UTF-8 by design, it predates Unicode.

Could you explain why you believe that there is a problem?

>From my understanding, the Subject should be:  user - cannot cope with accents in CDDB data
as you see things different because you use an TF-8 terminal.
