/ character in artist and album name #195

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Loading freedb metadata for an artist like AC/DC
2. Loading freedb metadata for a album like In/Casino/Out

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

For a disc by AC/DC: AC is displayed as artist name and DC as album title 
in the GUI.
For the album In/Casino/Out: Just In is displayed as album title in the 
GUI.

What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system? Are 
you using the gtk2 or the commandline interface?

rubyripper 0.5.0 gtk version on ArchLinux

Please provide any additional information below.

A possible workaround for these two issues is attached as a patch to 
rr_lib.rb. It just replaces the * in the split command with +, so that at 
least one whitespace is needed around the /.

This is fixed in revision 230. Thanks for the patch!

I don't see your patch as just a workaround. It's a weak part of the freedb 
specification that 
all clients should make the split for album and artist. But I suppose all 
entries do have a 
whitespace surrounding the '/'. Solved. Next issue ;)
