On my Mac I am using Swinsian and on my Android devices I am using BubbleUPnP. I have noticed that, since I have moved my music library on my Mac, that only some tracks within an album, all of which I know to be there in Swinsian, for example, and are certainly visible within the Finder, are not visible on BubbleUPnP. Being new to this, I am wondering what I should be looking for to solve this problem -- for example, inadmissable characters or spaces in the file name, permissions, etc? Is it a MinimServer problem or something to do with BubbleUPnP? Typically, I use FLAC files but generally the library has an assortment of file formats.

My apologies if this is rather basic, but thank you in advance for any pointers.

This usually means you have a mismatch between the platform default character set and the character set that your filenames are using.

You can see the platform default character set by doing the following:

1) From the minim icon in the menu bar, select 'Show log'
2) In the log window, change the logging level from Info to Verbose
3) Leave the log window open
4) From the minim icon in the menu bar, select 'Restart'
5) In the log window, you'll see a message about the platform default charset. What does this say?

It says UTF-8
