Dolphin and some= =20 other applications were unable to deal with these files. i was advised here= =20 to emerge convmv and use this utility to convert the filenames to UTF8.=20 Maybe something like 'convmv -f latin1 -t utf-8 Sigur\ Ros\ -\ 07'=20 works for you, too. In order to actually do the conversion, add the --notes= t=20 option. convmv also supports recursive conversion of whole directory trees. Wonko
