the squeezeboxserver is started amongst other arguments with
"--charset=utf8". I think it's started with the following line
in /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver:
daemon --user $SQUEEZEBOX_USER $SQUEEZEBOX_BIN $SQUEEZEBOX_ARGS
When I start the server manually with
"/etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start", I see the following output:
Your locale was detected as C, you may have problems with non-Latin filenames.
Consider changing your LANG variable to the correct locale, i.e. en_US.utf8
[10-02-21 19:09:17.9151] main::init (320) Starting Squeezebox Server (v7.4.1,
r28947, Tue Oct 20 07:59:38 PDT 2009) perl 5.008008
So far I haven't figured out where the "Your locale ..." message is coming
from. Couldn't find it in /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver
Seems that the server is running under user "squeezeboxserver". Maybe I
need to set the correct locale for this user, but where?

Yes, thanks for this hint. I had forgotten to tell that all files are in
FLAC format. I checked with "metaflac --list" and some of the files do contain
a SORTNAME tag, i.e. "MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME=Albert Collins".
I modified a few of these and they got sorted properly afterwards.
I have to write a little script to remove these tags automatically since
I don't want to check everything manually.
Many thanks for your advice.
Klaus
