Maybe you were thinking only of latin letters with accents? That might

Thanks for hitting on a clearer definition for what I'm
attempting. :) This would take care of 99.999% of the characters I
run into.
For the curious, I use a perl script to manage the ripping and
encoding of my CDs to mp3, and I have it place the resultant mp3 files
(and a flac image of the CD, along with the TOC and CUE files) in a
directory structure like:
.../CD_Library/<Artist>/<Album>/<tracknum> - <tracktitle>.mp3
needless to say, while Linux is perfectly happy to put all the various
accented characters wherever they may be in the filenames, they often
don't translate well (if at all) when copied to Windows or Mac systems
(especially when Samba is involved) primarily because of different
character sets on the different OSes.
Unless I'm just doing something wrong, here. If I can avoid this
work, I'd be much happier.
