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. -- cdda2wav - cannot cope with accents in CDDB data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
