Uh, oh. Why is it talking of such characters ? Shouldn't CP1251 be a single-byte character set ? > track2 has an error for accent, corret title is Tiens voilà la pelle > https://savannah.gnu.org/file/bulle_bob_plage_cdrskin_output.txt?file_id=46853 > 2 : 80 01 02 0a o b 00 T i e n s v o i d9 65 > 3 : 80 02 03 09 l 88 l a p e l l e 00 54 f2 So the a-accent-grave is encoded as 0x88. That's not ISO-8859-1, where it would be 0xe0. 0x88 is in the unused area of ISO-8859. In CP1252 it is Modifier Letter Circumflex Accent, U+02C6. Hrmpf. That's a problem. The "incomplete character" is an accent which misses an applicable main character. It looks like ISO-8859-1 does not have incomplete characters. ... and that you hit the only one in CP1252. Congrats ! > 29 : 8f 00 1d 00 00 It pretends to be ISO-8859-1. But i could not find any character set where a-accent-grave is 0x88.

In ISO-8859-1 undefined. In CP1252 a Z-hacek. So the text encoding in this CD is hopelessly wrong. But it shows that CP1252 might be too tolerant as a base assumption. There are no incomplete characters in ASCII and ISO-8859-1. So the conversion should not be able to throw this error. So back to the original proposal: case CDTEXT_CHARCODE_ISO_8859_1: charset = (char *) "ISO-8859-1"; break; case CDTEXT_CHARCODE_ASCII: /* ASCII is a subset of ISO-8859-1. Some CDs announce it but then * have 8-bit characters in their text. Trying ISO-8859-1 gives * more hope for a readable result than telling iconv to be picky. */ charset = (char *) "ISO-8859-1"; break; Serge, may i impose another round of tests on you ? You have the best ill CDs ever. :)) (The "Bulle et Bob" CD will of course not be shown better than already seen with unchanged character set choice.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
