ls -l >~/output.txt

from the containing folder to get the actual characters in the file or folder name. If you attach the output.txt file to a post here, I will take a look.

OK, here are all the errors, along with the line from the playlist which caused the error.

Code:

Error: playlist _Playlists/Blues & Ballads.m3u8: unknown folder for ../Rubén González/Introducing...Rubén González/04 Melodía Del Rio.m4a
../Rubén González/Introducing...Rubén González/04 Melodía Del Rio.m4a

Error: playlist _Playlists/Herts.m3u8: unknown folder for ../Antônio Carlos Jobim/Antônio Carlos Jobim And Friends/04 Once I Loved.m4a

Error: playlist _Playlists/New2015_16.m3u8: unknown folder for ../Cesária Évora/São Vicente/12 Negue.m4a
../Cesária Évora/São Vicente/12 Negue.m4a

And I am attaching the best output.txt file I could manage. It shows the highest level folders (artist), within which the album folder and track file reside. I couldn't actually open any of them, because I couldn't find a way of typing the special characters into PuTTY which would work.

Investigation much appreciated.
