Bug 116747 – media-sound/cdmp3-0.5.0 fails if song title contains quotes

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Daniel Gulotta 2005-12-25 17:57:37 UTC]

In order for oggenc to parse its input correctly, any quotes in the song title, filename, etc. need to be preceded by a backslash.  However, cdmp3 does not do this.  For example, cdmp3 ran this command
"/usr/bin/cdparanoia" -d "/dev/cdrom" 1 - | "/usr/bin/oggenc" -q 3 -o "Yes - Opening (Excerpt From "Firebird Suite").ogg"
which results in an error.  The correct syntax is
"/usr/bin/cdparanoia" -d "/dev/cdrom" 1 - | "/usr/bin/oggenc" -q 3 -o "Yes - Opening (Excerpt From \"Firebird Suite\").ogg"

This can be fixed by adding
$track_filename =~ s/\"/\\\"/g;
to the cdmp3 perl script.

sound team: Would you take care of this or is this something for the treecleaners?  (last release mid 2004 and for sure more than enough alternatives available)

No idea why this is assigned to maintainer-needed...

punt it.

for users, I would recommend abcde in its place.
