Bug 102723

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703

Description of problem:
According to the freedb FAQ, entries must be submitted in ISO-8859-1 format, not
in UTF-8, which we use by default.  The wire protocol goes both ways: if I
retrive entries with non-ASCII characters with grip running in a UTF-8 locale,
it gets very confused.  It should convert entries downloaded in iso-8859-1 to
the locale representation, and convert back to iso-8859-1 when submitting new
entries.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grip-3.0.7-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start grip in a UTF-8 locale
2.Attempt to register a CD with a non-ASCII character in its title
3.Do it again in a iso-8859-1 locale.
4.Restart grip in a UTF-8 locale.
5.Retrieve the entry

Actual Results:  For 2, You get an e-mail back stating that an invalid character
set was used.  For 5, you get back a mangled entry.

Expected Results:  The e-mail contents should be generated in iso-8859-1, and
downloaded entries should be converted back from iso-8859-1 to the chosen
locale.  The wire protocol specifies iso-8859-1.

Additional info:

Unfortunately, choosing a non-UTF8 locale means you have to drop non-ASCII
characters from filenames, which often makes song titles unreadable.
