Submit freedb

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Enhancement:

Submit non-existent freedb entries... Maybe make this an optional question 
if the user edited the results.

That's a good idea. Such option would definitely be of value. Should be on any
serious ripping program.

Can anyone find out if freedb still supports updates? I kind of thought it was
becoming a read-only database lately.

Is there any chance that this feature will be released someday?

My encouragement to get it done cause I'm no rubydev ;)

They definitely accept submissions.
Check conventions:

Check old ruby code to do it:

The problem with implementing this was mainly lack of unicode support. However, 
this is fixed with the ruby-1.9 release. In current refactor branche I can now 
succesfully ensure the encoding is in UTF-8 and convert to it if necessary.

I feel that getting the refactor branche to work should be prio 1, but after 
that this feature seems like a nice and not too hard thing to do.
