m3u files are ASCII plaintext file, so any non-ASCII characters eg, letters with diacritics, like ñ andr ó get mangled, as you've seen. This means that LMS can't find the file referred to in the playlist and so omits it. There -is- a playlist format that supports letters with diacritics, using UTF-8 encoding. These playlists use the extension .m3u8 I'm assuming iTunes could generate m3u8 playlists, since Apple uses UTF-8/m3u8 playlists for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), but I don't use iTunes. However, I don't know if LMS supports m3u8 playlist files (either natively or could via a plugin), which is obviously the crucial bit :-) Hopefully someone else will be along to help more.
