 MythMusic CD-ripper doesn't handle other than ascii characters correctly.
 When ripping a CD that has e.g. 'ä' characters both in album name and in
 song titles, there are problems:
  - CD-rip screen that shows song information has two squares where there
 should be a special character
  - ID3-tag information and Myth DB gets corrupted information

 This is when Song/Album info is coming from the FreeDB/CDDB. Haven't tried
 but it probably works correctly if you go and manually change all these
 square characters to correct ones.

 During song encoding, following lines are printed to frontend log:
 {{{
 TagLib: String::prepare() - Unicode conversion error.
 }}}

 In addition, FreeDB/CDDB lookups do not seem to get the year of the album,
 although year info is present in albums when manually searching from:
 www.freedb.org
