Accents in music title break ID3 enconding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Please describe the steps to reproduce the situation:
a. Load a disc where there is an accented letter (e.g., á, é, í, ó, ú). 
The name of the first music is "Diálogo de Crioulos"
b. Rip the disc
c. See the metadata of the file

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd like to see the correct title "Diálogo de Crioulos", with all the accents, 
but the displayed title is "Di". The accented letter and all following aren't 
correctly dislayed. 

It looks like an encoding problem.


3) What version of rubyripper are you using?
0.6.2 (this info is very difficult to find, an about button would be nice)

 On what operating system? 

Ubuntu raring

The gtk2 of commandline interface?

Gtk2

4) Is this not already fixed with the latest & greatest code? See for
instructions the Source tab above.

I don't think so.

5) Does the problem happen with all discs? If not, please attach
the output of cdparanoia -Q with a disc that gives trouble.

Happen with all tracks that have accented metadata.


6) Please explain why this change is important for you. Also, how many
users would benefit from this change?

Almost all my discs are  in Brazilian Portuguese. The ripper is almost useless 
if it is unable to correctly save the disc metadata. Its too much trouble to 
reedit the metadata with  an id3 editor. 

Every non-american user would find this a good thing. 

I thought RubyRipper would become my favorite ripper, but unfortunately this is 
 basic feature. 

-----------------------------
Please provide any additional information below. The more usefull
information provided, the sooner the issue will be fixed.

It is probably an encoding problem. I don't know if you can set the encoding 
somewhere in the metadata, but it should be UTF-8. 

The  filename is correctly written.

I have this issue too. I noticed that the metadata truncation happens when 
encoding to mp3, but not when encoding to flac.

lame version is 3.99.3 on ubuntu 12.04
