It is an absolutely 100% correlation that it�s these tracks with
filenames containing certain special characters that are causing the
problem. I can post a log if that would be helpful - tell me where to
do that.

Thanks Mike - this is a lot of information that I've heard before, but have
never been able to reproduce myself. Could you tell us a little bit about
your system? OS? Where does your music reside? Local disk? Network Share?

My theory about the cause is that there�s some string-handling function
in the code that has a restricted view of what characters are legal to
appear in a filename, which is more restrictive than is actually
supported by the Windows and Mac filesystems. An earlier version of the
code worked fine, so there�s no reason it can�t be made to work again�

That's not actually the case - we don't restrict any high-bit characters -
the issue is somewhere between determining what your 'locale' is, and
translating what the filesystem gives us when we do a 'readdir()'

Thanks.
