Using xcdroast, the fetch of track title/performer on the default free cddb server gives bogus result whenever the title of the track contains accentued characters (like HTML eacute entity. The track titles get out of sync with the CD content, leaving the last tracks with no information. A CD-audio with such problem is "Le mot de passe / Patricia Kaas" (but I have others CD with the same issue: as soon as a non-ascii character is used, xcdroast has a problem to get the right name on the right track). Other CDplayer (but not burner) have no problem getting the list right, so I assume that's not a system issue, but really a problem in xcdroast. When speaking about other CDplayer, I'm speaking about the CDPlayer entry in the default Gnome Application menu (Sound & Video). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a CD-audio with non-ascii track titles 2. Insert the CD in the CD-reader 3. launch xcdroast 4. Click "Create CD" 5. Choose the panel to extract tracks 6. Ask to get tracks information from cddb (freecddb.freecddb.org : 888) Actual Results: The tracks from 1 to x gets the titles without special characters, remaining tracks get no information. The more troublesome is not the missing information, but that if first track's title has special characters, the first track get the title of the second title... and so on. Expected Results: Get the non-ascii characters right, or at least kept the tracks' titles in sync with the actual tracks while leaving the offending titles empty. I'm using the Gnome window manager on a x64 (Opteron) system with a 2.6.13-r1 kernel
xcdroast upstream seems dead. I can't fix this atm without a patch for it. Try using another app to burn cds or build yourself a patch to fix this issue. Reopen if you got a patch for it. Thanks for the report
