Having trouble with Slimserver v 6 missing some of your audio files?

I know I am.  It seems like all my flac files with diacritic characters in the 
file names get skipped by Slimserver when it builds itâs db from my library.  
For instance, the file "Flute Music - AurÃole Ensemble.flac" is ignored.

Iâm sure this problem will get fixed, and soon.  But, in the meantime, Iâve 
written a little Windows console program called fixfilesforslim.exe that will 
rename any files with diacritic characters to something that Slimserver can 
find.  The utility makes a record of all the files itâs renamed so that it 
can 
restore all the filenames in the future.

Example:

fixfilesforslim D:\Music\*.flac /s

This will fix any offending flac filenames in the D:\Music folder and all 
subfolders.

Fixfilesforslim D:\Music\*.flac /s /r

This will restore the original filenames that were "fixed" in the previous 
operation.

You can download the utility (windows only, sorry) and the complete source at:

Let me know if you find it helpful.
