Foobar2000 with WINE

Hi!
Running foobar2000 with WINE on Ubuntu 20.04 and Manjaro Gnome 20. Foobar2000 can't read cue-sheets saved with ANSI encoding with Russian charset. Can some-one help me to fix this?

Suggestion: Translate them to UTF-8 using iconv.

As for getting foobar2000 in wine to read them as-is, you'll have to figure out how to change your wine prefix's ANSI code page.

With UTF-8 encoding cue-sheet in foobar2000 looks like this.

IIRC foobar2000 expects BOM at the beginning of a *.cue file, but Linux programs usually don't write it.

Thank you very much! That helped.
I didn't figure out how to add BOM in Gedit, so I used Double Commander to convert 1251 to UTF-8 (with BOM). Also Chacon component for Foobar2000 didn't worked. Wonder why in didn't worked?

Hi! Thank you!
I tried to change field Command in Foobar2000 Launching Properties (in Main Menu Linux app) from this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/anton/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/anton/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/foobar2000.lnk

to this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/anton/.wine" LANG="ru_RU.utf8" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/anton/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/foobar2000.lnk

Now foobar2000 can read 1251 encoded cue-sheet tags correctly but still can't play the cues... Get error:

"Unable to open item for playback (bad exception):"

I'm not sure, but it may be possible that the file IO API in Wine only accepts UTF-8 encoded paths, and only happens to support UTF-16 because that's what Windows supports. I'm not sure that it supports other 8 bit encodings.
