[vorbis-dev] What to do with ODD encoder for AudioGrabber Cd-Ripper ?

[Arioch]

Once i've run into misfeature.
I've grabbed an Audio CD with one of russian opera's, and its comment been
wirttenas a 8-bit ANSI text.
When i tried to play them in WnAMP - the comments were unreadable.
Peter (the author of WinAMP OGG plugin) told me, that the comments must be
encoded using UTF-8.

I wrote it to the author of AudioGrabber and he told me he will forward it
to plugin author.
Anyway, in the month there were no updates...
I contacted Jackie again, and there below is his answer... :-(((

Please, could anyone reach Albert Faber or make other version of his plugin
with correct comment support.
Or am i completely wrong and is it a WinAMP's plugin who's to blame?

One more question is if there is some program, that could easily convert
those plain text comments into UTF-8 ones?

Hi Arioch,

I have unfortunately not got an answer from Albert Faber so I don't know
what the problem is. Maybe you can ask him too? You can find his e-mail
address on http://cdex.n3.net. He is the one who has made the OGG dll.

Regards,

Jackie.
