MinimServer failing to read special characters in m3u playlist files

[DavidHB]

Just for interest, I copied your file to my NAS (which uses the UTF-8 character set, as against the windows-1252 set used by Windows), then opened it in and saved it from Playlist Creator. The result is in the attachment to this post. Would you be prepared to test it, to see if it works? If it does, using the free Playlist Creator may provide a fix. If it doesn't work, creating a list directly from the music files in Playlist Creator might be OK (you need to create the files directly on the NAS, use relative addressing, and set the program to use forward slashes rather than backslashes in the file paths)
