RE: Missing files --> Error: couldn't access file (with special characters)
You're right, it's a filename encoding issue:
Code:
$ isutf8 Chicago\ Symphony\ Orchestra\ -\ Sergey\ Rachmaninov\ -\ Rachmaninov\ Rhapsody\ on\ a\ Theme\ of\ Paganini\ -\ 27\ -\ Noches\ en\ los\ jardines\ de\ España\ I.\ En\ el\ Generalife.flac
Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Sergey Rachmaninov - Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - 27 - Noches en los jardines de España I. En el Generalife.flac: line 2, char 1, byte offset 1: invalid UTF-8 code

I'm using mp3tag on Linux with Wine, but the file encoding seems to be latin1. What I now did was using convmv to convert files from iso-8859-1 to utf8:

Code:
convmv --notest -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 file-with-encoding-issues.flac

As always, thank you Simon for the prompt and valid replies!
