| ===Non-ASCII characters===
| |
| ==The Issue==
| |
| Non-ASCII characters in the Windows filepaths of music library tracks can cause problems due to incompatiblities with:
| |
| * Macintosh
| |
| * Portable muisc players (can prevent play of affected and subsequent files)
| |
| * FTP clients and servers
| |
| * File-sharing programs
| |
| * Some application programs e.g. FLAC encoder, Beyond Compare 2
| |
| | |
| ==Workaround==
| |
| Replace non-ASCII characters with e.g. the nearest ASCII equivalent:
| |
| * accented char -> non-accented equivalent
| |
| * left and right quotes -> upright quote
| |
| Replacement can be performed by [[Mp3tag]] using and Action Groups containing a Replace action for each character.

| Yowch. Expect that program to fail on other legal Windows filenames too!
