UTF-8 encoding crashes ripping

1) Please describe the steps to reproduce the situation:
Insert a CD.
Start rrip_gui
Insert a unicode character in the disc/track info.
Click "Rip cd now!"

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected rubyripper to start ripping, but instead it crashed. Output:
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.0.0/rr_lib.rb:1659:in `gsub!': incompatible 
encoding regexp match (UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string) 
(Encoding::CompatibilityError)

    from /usr/bin/rrip_cli:486:in `<main>'

3) What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system? The
gtk2 of commandline interface?
Version 0.6.2 on an up to date Arch Linux install. Same problem using both gtk 
and cli interface. Ruby version installed is 2.0.0.

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

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

6) Please explain why this change is important for you. Also, how many
users would benefit from this change?
It would be easier to rip my CD's when the program doesn't crash because of a 
character.

I actually managed to get it working. I read issue 369 and by reversing the 
patch

Dz30FXO7amymc7g%3A1366999916784 it won't crash anymore.
