Also, Unicode on Windows isn't UTF-8, but UTF-16 (although Microsoft now seems to have changed their mind, according to 'Wikipedia' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16): "As of May 2019, Microsoft seems to have reversed course and now supports and recommends using UTF-8". According to other sources, the UTF-8 support on WIndows is currently too buggy to use, though) And finally, there is a basic flaw in your approach: If Trackstat runs with UTF-8 encoding (no matter on which OS), it will not be able to read it's own data (which is exactly what't happening now). Your new approach is functionally identical to what you are doing now...
Anyway, writing a conversion script should (hopefully!) only take a couple of minutes. You can either upload your Trackstat file somewhere I can D/L it, or I'll upload the script and you can run it locally (note, however, that with the latter option, I have no way of testing if the conversion actually works) 'Various SW' (https://www.nexus0.net/pub/sw/): Web Interface | Playlist Editor / Generator | Music Classification | Similar Music | Announce | EventTrigger | LMSlib2go | ...
