You're probably confusing file names with file tags. MIP has no issues with tags, AFAIK. It has w/ files or folder names containing high-bit characters. Create a directory named "Björk" and add a few files in there. In SBS MusicIP preferences, first line "Use MusicIP" make sure to select 'import all info'. Then MIP scan. Then "clear and rescan" SBS database. Then have a look at the scanner log, you'll see errors. And you'll miss every track from this directory in the SBS database (entry is there, but no sound as if the file had been deleted) As said by others, the workaround is to use "Bjork" instead of "Björk" as folder name (same for file names.) Looking at the SBS scan log will help locate troublesome files in your collection. Also, since SBS +7.6 features a much faster scanner there is IMHO no gain in "importing all info" from MIP anymore. Importing mixable status only from MIP, and relying on the SBS scanner for all the rest is better. (Under linux I use the "rename" command-line to do this kind of work. Combine it with "find" if you're brave. There are bulk renamers with GUI also.) -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.6 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins Just Covers by Tom Kalmijn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92930
