Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian stable Packages Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416549 If I play a CD which has CD-Text in UTF-8 format, the utf-8 encoded information is shown as question marks in the Kscd track information. However, if I output that cd's track information using cdda2wav with "-J" option, then the information is shown properly in Konsole output, proving the data in the audio cd is okay. I made a CD (output from a mixer was recorded in wav format) and put some international characters in the title of the tracks using easytag. That particular information (titles) is shown with question makes in kscd, but the rest of the information (artist, album, etc.) was put in English and is displayed properly in kscd. Hopefully, this is just a little problem and easily solved.
Can You please submit information about how this disk was created? I cannot found any hints in Internet, that CD-text standart defines any Language-ID for UTF-8 encoding, today as some years ago, as I first wrote support for it. Some burners applications can define some numbers at his own risk, but it will work so long they define the same ;-) And even this case: "it's not a standart". Greetings Alex
Note that CD-Text cannot use UTF-8, it was defined to be based on ISO-8859-1
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
kscd is no longer maintained, please switch to an alternative application.
