Apologies, Christian, it might just have slipped due to the many posts
here. No offence.
The "new way" you use seems to be the Good Thing: SC on Linux -should-
be run in "UTF-8 mode", i.e. setting the system charset to (your local)
UTF-8 variant (as you did) -plus- using UTF-8 filenames on Linux discs
-plus- setting the correct Windows to Linux charset options in
-smb.cnf- (which you did by deleting them now default to UTF-8).
Other problems you might (and do) run into are different character sets
used -inside- both audio and cue sheet files: These will most probably
be in Windows CP1252 character set.
Youll have to differntiate between the -tags- in audio files and the
(purely textual) information in CUE Sheet files:
- Tags from your FLAC (and OGG) files will probably be shown
correctly, since the used -Vorbis Comment- tagging internally uses
UTF-8.
- Tags from MP3 files -might- be incorrect, but Id trust SC to
convert these correctly into UTF-8 even if ID3v1 or
ID3v2.3/ISO-8859-1 charset has been used. (ID3v2.3 with the UTF-16
character set is another good option if you need foreign-language
characters often.)
- CUE Sheets are special: Most Windows applications store these in
the character set that is currently set on your Windows machine
(probably CP1252 in Denmark). For correct use of Danish characters
with SC running on a Linux system, you should instead try to set your
application to write UTF-8-encoded CUE Sheets instead these will
work fine. (If your ripping application cannot do that, you might use
some text file converter or an editor to open these and re-save with
UTF-8 encoding. I -seem- to remember that -no BOM- should be written,
so if your editor asks for "write BOM" or "UTF-8 with signature"
-dont-.)
