While per se there might be no bug, I'd like to relaunch this issue. Since some time cdda2wav stopped working with freedb. I don't know why it happened. Anyway it would be nice to have UTF-8, there are so many advantages. First of all this would be a step away from (west-)europe centrism. Indeed, already thought about how many languages DON'T use ISO-8859-1? For now, japanese, chinese, greek, east-european etc. users are simply left out because cdda2wav is simply not capable of representing those characters. But well, I'm speaking against a wall and unluckily the icedax people are even worse (they didn't even make it to the ISO-8859 era ... ).
