That's interesting. I may be over my head here, but I'll try to look
into it. It might help if you can find a way to send me exactly what

There have been a number of people complaining about issues with
accented characters, but in many (most?) cases it just seems to work.
I'm lucky in that regard, I have plenty of accents in both filenames
and tags and don't have any issues. In some cases I thnk iTunes

What radish said. Yes, it traverses subdirectories, and move means
essentially rename: you get a new file name in the same directory as
the old one. If you prefer, change move to copy and it will leave
the old one there, too. And, yes, it changes accented characters to
nothing at all. If you
