[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#521310: audacious: bad text encoding from mp3 files

[Mark Poks]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: normal

i have plenty of mp3 files that have id3 tags with national characters (polish)
in windows-cp1250 encoding (because they was created on windows). here on debian
i have latin-2 encoding so the national characters are displayed badly.

it would be great to have possibility to choose source encoding to convert
from, or better any mechanism to detect text encoding and convert it to system
default.

cheers.
