Re: [Gnump3d-users] Cant play mp3's with special chars

[Stan Mulder]

I've experienced this problem going from a Linux server to Windows/XP 
Winamp. Apparently some characters that are fine in Linux aren't okay in 
Windows. My solution is a kludge: I move my mp3 files to a windows mount 
first before moving them to their final resting place on the Linux 
server. The bad filenames (Latin characters, etc.) can't be moved to the 
Windows mount until they are fixed. I've fooled around with easytag (a 
great program, BTW) but could not get the character set outputting the 
right thing. Oh well, I'm stuck with my kludge. Maybe there's a better 
solution.
