Foreign Characters

RE: Foreign Characters
Thanks for posting the solution.

Unicode has two ways to encode accented characters: NFC and NFD. NFC (composed) stores e acute as a single character "e acute". NFD (decomposed) stores e acute as two characters: "e" followed by "combining acute".

MinimServer translates tag values to NFC after reading them as this is the most commonly used form, so the name in your Artist tag used by MinimServer for the file lookup should be NFC. If for some reason the filename on disk is encoded as NFD, there could be a mismatch and the file would not be found.

Where did the file originate before you changed its name using the Windows keyboard technique? macOS stores filenames as NFD. If the file came originally from a Mac, this might explain the problem.
