I'm not sure if it is a problem in Linux, Squeezecenter (SC) or Samba or
somewhere completely different, so I hope someone can help me out or
tell me where to ask.

I have set a up a Ubuntu 8.10(server edition) server, with SC, version
7.3.1, to feed my Squeezebox 3. 
Additionally I have installed Samba v. 3.2.3, and created a network
drive, so that I can move my music collection from my Windows XP
machine to my Ubuntu server.

This works out almost perfect, except when I am trying to copy/play
files with danish characters such as æ/Æ, ø/Ø and å/Å. Particularly the
combination of .wav/.cue files causes some problems.

With my current settings I am able to copy such files to the network
drive and the characters display correctly when seeing them from
Windows. SC is also able to find the files but titles and artists
displays incorrectly. Example: 
filename: "Lis Sørensen - Indtil Dig Igen - Sørensens Bedste.cue/wav"
In SC the artist name becomes "Lis S". It simply cuts the rest away. It
does however play the file correctly.

I've tryed changing different settings, both in Ubuntu, Samba and
Squeezecenter, all causing different problems to occur, and I can't
manage to get it all working. The current setup is the one working best
so far.

--- Current setup/settings
-Server OS: Ubuntu Server 8.10 (Debian - DA - utf8)
-Ripping software: EAC on Windows XP Pro
-SC: 7.3.1 - 24372
-Samba v. 3.2.3
-MySQL-version: 5.0.67-0ubuntu6
-Perl-version: 5.10.0 - i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi

-The disk partition with my music files, 'store', is formatted as ext3
It is mounted in fstab like this: 
/dev/sda1    /mnt/store/    ext3    defaults,noatime    0    0

-When typing "locale" in Putty I can see that all is set to
"da_DK.UTF-8"

-In my smb.conf I have added these lines under [GLOBAL]:
dos charset = 850
unix charset = ISO-8859-1

- In /etc/default/squeezecenter I have added this line:
SLIMOPTIONS="--charset=utf8"

- In SC the language is set to danish.

Can anyone help?
