Hm … one thing comes to mind: SC (even on Windows) likes to save .m3u
playlists with UTF-8 encoding and a BOM (called »signature« in some
editors). So -maybe, just maybe- you a)*have many files with extended
characters in the filename, and b) edited those using an editor that
doesn’t support (or detect) UTF-8?

I still think this is somehow -bad-. M3U playlists don’t have a »real
spec« (they were an ad-hoc invention by Nullsoft in times long gone)
but are -usually assumed- containing only ISO-8859-1 characters. SC
(and some others) blindly write UTF-8 data into these, while »the
public« has more or less agreed upon using ».m3u8« files for UTF-8
encoded playlists.

Nevertheless, if you’re on Windows, -grepWin- can handle both
encodings, and you might verify using a nifty little editor like
Florian’s 'Notepad2' (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html).
