No, I don't think so. On Unix (Linux), the reality is that a filename is a bunch of bytes. Any encoding on top of it is an illusion that's maintained for the user's sake, but it breaks far too often on 'practical' filesystems to be something I'd include in an API of mine. If an app on top of tagpy wants to support that illusion, they need to deal with the complexity arising from it. (Glib has code for that, for example) Taglib seems to agree, btw. Windows does support 'real' Unicode filenames, but I honestly couldn't care less. Andreas
