I tried and it worked with certain file names.
But when I tried with file names like:
Monteverdi ~ Le passioni dell'anima (Monteverdi) ~ 08 ~ Sì dolce
è'tormento ~ Classical ~ 1999.flac
It returns with the error message:
"Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x20 after
start byte 0xec) in substitution (s///) at test.pl line 4."
So effectively the filename crashed the Perl script :)
Any ideas? I really appreciate the help. I am getting there.
