Hmmm, I did not noticed, until I saw this thread, that this accented character issue with MusicIP was back. I guess it came back with 7.5 as it was working fine for me with previous releases of SBS. My library has tons of World music and I have used accented characters in the tags, path, and

SqueezeCenter can create mixes with accented characters in the filename, however it won't play them since it can't find them because of the wrong character encoding (the error will show up in the log). Do yours actually play? This character encoding has been an issue with many versions of

Unfortunately the Perl script didn't work with my cygwin installation on Windows XP. It could find the accented characters but didn't replace them with their 'equal' part, like é to e. So I converted my characters in filenames and folders from UTF to ASCII with MP3Tag using the 'action'

Thanks for the MP3Tag tips. That's a neat trick. I also found a little Perl script to get rid of all those pesky characters posted by tom permutt four years ago: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22069 -- treble

Thanks for your reply. I guess I have to give up hope that this will ever be fixed. So I give in... Does any one have a script to covert accented/international characters in filenames to normal ones? I am on Windows XP but have cygwin installed so have access to perl, etc... Thanks, --

MusicIP has worked like this for a long time - yes it's a pain and now that development of MIP has stopped, unlikely to change. Pretty sure that EasyTag has an option to replace characters which you can use to replace the accented chars. Only semi automatic as you still need to tell it which

You certainly are not the only person seeing this. One way around it is to rename all the affected files to remove the accented characters not forgetting upside down question marks. You can leave the tags alone so track names are still displayed correctly. It is a pain to do but it works! --

I am still having problems with MusicIP mixes and songs with accented/international characters in the filename. I can create a mix fine with a song with an é or other characters, but the songs with international characters don't show up in the playlist, incl. the seed song if it has some.
