I would call it CD-Text charset support. The idea is to detect the character
set of CDText data and convert them to UTF-8 (or, alternatively to some user
defined charset, but I think just UTF-8 would be enough at least on modern
Linux systems).
This would involve:
- Detecting the character set of a particular CDtext entry. Documentation
for this is hard to get, but the sources of some burning programs can help
here.
- Write the string conversion using iconv (I have some working and stable code
in gmerlin, I can donate for this).
- Test with as many CDs as possible (at least some western European languages,
ideally also Japanese/Chinese/Arabic).
Would really great :)
Cheers
Burkhard
