> Data in FreeDB is often misencoded. In Russian, it's pretty much always misencoded, I consider a couple of correctly encoded entries an occasional mistake by the submitters ;) It'd be nice to be able to search "using an encoding". For example, I'd like to search for "ДДТ", but since it's the right encoding, I'd like to use misinterpreted latin1, so I have to convert in bash: echo "ДДТ" | iconv -t cp1251 | iconv -f latin1. I would like to have a dropdown encoding list to do that directly.
