I've experienced this problem going from a Linux server to Windows/XP
Winamp. Apparently some characters that are fine in Linux aren't okay in
Windows. My solution is a kludge: I move my mp3 files to a windows mount
first before moving them to their final resting place on the Linux
server. The bad filenames (Latin characters, etc.) can't be moved to the
Windows mount until they are fixed. I've fooled around with easytag (a
great program, BTW) but could not get the character set outputting the
right thing. Oh well, I'm stuck with my kludge. Maybe there's a better
solution.

Hi there
I can't play songs with special chars either in file
name or directory name:
http://xxxx/Sine%20Calmon%20%26%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante/
Sine Calmon & Morrão Fumegante
wehen I request one song of this directory I get:
Sine Calmon & Morrão Fumegante - Morrão
Fumegante.mp3.m3u
which holds
http://xxxx/Sine%20Calmon%20%26%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante/Fogo%20na%20Babil%C3%B4nia/Sine%20Calmon%20%26%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante%20-%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante.mp3
If I cut and paste
http://xxxx/Sine%20Calmon%20%26%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante/Fogo%20na%20Babil%C3%B4nia/Sine%20Calmon%20%26%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante%20-%20Morr%C3%A3o%20Fumegante.mp3
in a browsers url, the mp3 gets downloaded and can be
played without problems. So the streaming fails
My setup:
all server boxes suse 9.3, clients w2k with zinf
updated to yesterdays state
box1 mp3 files, all same usrer:group
box2 gnump3d v2.9.8 as available this morning
clients use zinf or xmms
w2k box: zinf says stream not available
any clue?
greets chris
