Welp, I'm trying to do the same with greek characters (ISO-8859-7 and UTF 8 won't work), and I get the same kind gibberish.

Chin, I feel you and I am just as flabarghasted.

What kind of a world is this, where both greek and chinese cannot be recognized?  At least make one work, linux...

What kill me is that grip *used* to recognize greek characters when I had  SuSE 9.1 with an older version of grip.  I suspect it is a linux environment variable that has not been set right whe In installed SuSE 10.1.  I changed a bunch of them, but no luck.

If anyone has ideas, please, us non-latin character users we are all ears.

Cheers

 I am trying to us GRIP to rip a CD from Hong Kong  (Chinese Traditional charaters)
 The disc title, artist name, song name are all  showing up with ASCII scrambles.
  
 I tried change the character encoding to ISO_8859_1  and ISO-8859-1 from UTF-8, still no use.
  
 I tried to login GNOME using other Chinese locales  such as simplified, still no use.
 I tried also using Sound-Juicer, but no characters  show up properly.
 However, I can BT some mp3 files with Chiese  characters file names, and it display properly on my terminal as well as in  Nautilus.
  
 Could anyone give me some pointers?
  
 I am runnning Debian
 Linux 2.6.18
 GNOME, using locale: english UTF-8.
 GRIP 3.3.1
  
 As an experiment, I used iTune from my Windows, and  it fetched all the characters properly.
  
 Any advice welcome 
 Thanks!
