This one says ISO-8859-1. The right thing for continental european texts. (Our medieval monks were so inventive about shortcuts.) > It is correctly manage by current version of cd-info. cd-info v0.83 was > failing to display accent. That's 7.5 years ago. Digging in http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libcdio.git/log/lib/driver/cdtext.c i see that the code with interpreting charset and converting to UTF-8 was introduced about half a year after 0.83: 2012-03-05 "Multilanguage CD-Text from greenleon" http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libcdio.git/commit/lib/driver/cdtext.c?id=abe5b8429573c9ac796c274c7abe7f76ef52dc76 > I can test some cds with ascii characters only. Those are of interest too. If you implement the extended proposal by changing the code in lib/driver/cdtext.c at about line 714 to: case CDTEXT_CHARCODE_ISO_8859_1: /* ... explanation comment or not ... */ charset = (char *) "CP1252"; break; case CDTEXT_CHARCODE_ASCII: /* ... explanation comment or not ... */ charset = (char *) "CP1252"; break; then it will be appeasing to get confirmation of our theory from as many real CDs as possible. (I.e. does real iconv with real CDs do what i expect from character set descriptions at various places ?) Please report any unexpected character display together with the CD's text pack report from cdrskin. I myself don't even have real audio CDs with CD-TEXT, but only self-made ones with what my software deems to be correct. Cough ... Have a nice day :) Thomas
