I recently noticed that the mixes that I create with SC and the MusicIP
plugin  v1.0 do not include tracks that have extended characters like á
é í ó ú ü ñ ¡ ç ô ã anywhere in their path or file names. Anyone else
experiencing this behavior? I now realize that the mixes I have been
listening are not "true" MusicIP mixes as the MusicIP plugin selects a
subsequent track that has no extended characters in its path/name. My
playlist are limited to 50 tracks, but this number is reduced by the
number of tracks that the MusicIP-SC mixer fails to add. My music
library is made up of about 60% World and Classical genre which are
tagged with the name of the artist/album/tracks in their native
language. It's a pity that a large percentage of these tracks are not
included in the playlists that I create with the MusicIP plugin. This
is problem also stops the SugarCube plugin from dynamically adding
tracks with extended characters.

Btw, the MusicIP client creates mixes with extended characters with no
problem, but I don't want to be exporting and importing MusicIP mixes.
I guess these extended characters get lost in translation somewhere
between MusicIP server and MusicIP Plugin-SC. Today I tested using the
new MusicIP mixer ver 1.95b6 which was supposed to fix some encoding
issues, but I'm still experiencing the same problem. When a track fails
it generates error messages in the server log like the ones below.
Notice that the error messages reflect the correct paths and tracks
names which include extended characters. The files exist in the
locations pointed by the messages in the log. I can see that my
settings in MusicIP are creating good mixes (moods), but it's a pitty
that the "true" end result does not make it to the playlist. Is anyone
out there working on this issue on the SC or MusicIP plugin side?
