Unfortunately the Perl script didn't work with my cygwin installation on Windows XP. It could find the accented characters but didn't replace them with their 'equal' part, like é to e.
So I converted my characters in filenames and folders from UTF to ASCII with MP3Tag using the 'action' feature. For people who want to try as well, I have attached the 'mta' file so you don't have to recode it yourself. Drop it in the folder: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_LOGIN_NAME\Application Data\Mp3tag\data\actions. I now know more then I ever wanted to know about character sets! There is still some manual clicking needed since 'do with all' or something like that, doesn't really seem to work. Also, the folder above the folder with mp3 files doesn't get fixed. So if you have something like: "Music\Maná\Maná - 2008 - Arde El Cielo\01 - Dejame Entrar.mp3", the first Maná doesn't get converted to Mana, but the one in the Album name does. You can easily find those with the Perl script using cygwin. The result re: MusicIP? It fixed the problem!!! I can now create mixes with SqueezeCenter in which songs with accented characters appear and they even play without complaining! So in short, if you want to use MusicIP you can not have 'international' characters in the filename or folder, but you can in the ID tags. -- treble ------------------------------------------------------------------------ treble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78059
