If I were Melco, I would expect people to push the button I have provided and come back to me if that doesn't fix the issue.

I have not discussed this issue with Melco. The above opinion is entirely my own.

Hi Simon. I understand and respect your opinion. With the utmost respect, I see things differently. As of July 2019, the then-current Melco firmware (v3.91) had no problem with music files containing a '»' character of either variety (Apple and Microsoft). But Melco FW v3.92 -- the current version for my N1Z Mk. I, which was introduced on May 13, 2020 -- cannot even display music files containing at least one variety of the '»' character (I gather it is the Microsoft variety that is the issue).

So, in FW v3.91, Melco introduced a character-replacement feature to fix a problem that, at least as far as the '»' character is concerned, had not yet reared its head.

Then, in FW v3.92, music files with one kind of '»' in the file name suddenly ceased to be visible and playable.

All I was hoping for was that Melco could do something to go back to the '»' status quo as it existed on June 6, 2019 when FW v3.91 was released.

You have gone above and beyond the call of duty to try to help me with this Melco (non-MinimServer) issue, and for that I am grateful. If I 'push the button' and it does not help, I will try to reach out to Melco directly. Thanks again.
