Accented Characters in Tags: iTunes vs FLAC, etc.

Blitzstein, Marc (1905-1964)
Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904)

In the second case—Dvořák—I have one or two m4a tracks tagged in iTunes and several more FLAC tracks ripped and tagged from CD with XLD or tagged with the tagging program Yate.

When there are accented characters in the tag MinimServer then lists the iTunes and FLAC files separately. In other words, if I browse the list of composers, Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904) is shown twice, though the letter rendering looks identical.

A text editor shows me that the accented characters do seem to be treated quite differently within the two types of music files.

Am I doing something wrong (apart from being pedantic!) or is there a fix?

Thanks,

What platform are you using to run MinimServer?

At the start of the MinimServer log, what platform default charset is shown?

Can you attach some screenshots from the text editor to a forum post so that I can see the difference?
