Encoding track-names received from freedb not in UTF-8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to rip a cd with track-names retrieved from freedb in UTF-8 
characters (greek in this case) 

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

The track-names received appear like:    Ìåó' Ôçí Âñï÷Þ

1) What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system?
->0.5.7 on ubuntu-9.10

2) Are you using the gtk2 or the commandline interface?
->gtk2

3) Is the problem gone with the default settings? If so, please attach your
settings file ($HOME/.rubyripper/settings).

4) Does the problem only happen on a specific disc? If so, please attach
the output of cdparanoia -Q. Also the freedb output would be nice if it may
be related to it.

This is not a bug for rubyripper. This is a freedb bug. The freedb spec says 
all text 
is encoded as UTF-8.

Notice that it's not very easy to fix this as well.
