Japanese characters in Grip

Grip logo I use Grip to rip and encode CD's on my Linux box. I recently got a CD of Japan Rail East train station melodies. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to enter all the info manually--since there are 74 tracks! Freedb had the disc listed, but all the characters were just borked on display in grip. I'm using grip 3.3.0. So I ended upwith this:

  1. Go to the Config/DiscDB/Primary Server tab

  2. Change "Database Character Set Encoding" to something like ISO=2022-JP
  3. Initiate the disc lookup again via the shortcut button that looks like two computers connected to each other

A suggestion for Grip developers

I really really really wish that Grip had support for multiple arbitrary profiles. That way, I could set up one profile for Rock, a different one for Classical, yet another for Japanese, and another for audiobooks.
It would make things so much easier than changing and then remembering all the different settings.

I've suggested this on sourceforge already, but since I can't program, I'm not sure how far it'll go.
Anybody have a solution?
