Bug Description
Command line: abcde -o mp3:'-V1' -j4 -V -a move -d /dev/sr0
When this command retrieves CDDB info that contains national characters (umlauts, accented characters), these are:
- displayed properly in the CDDB edit dialogue (I use vim for my editor)
- propagated properly to .mp3 file names
- BROKEN in the MP3 tags (such as Album, Title, ...), and appear as two unrelated characters.
It looks as though an extraneous conversion step from ISO8859 to UTF-8 were taking place that should not take place.

chances are this is fixed in the upstream 2.5.4 release:

the "changelog" file from the 2.5.4 tarball:
abcde 2.5.4
* Update GPL/FSF headers to match current versions. Thanks to vskytta
for the patch. (Closes issue 69).
* Fix the command line for ID3SYNTAX=eyed3. Thanks to neil.gm.richards
for the patch. Closes issue 50.
* Switch to eyed3 by default for MP3 tagging, as it looks to do UTF-8
tagging better. Closes issue 22 (hopefully)
