well, I never use whitespaces and accented chars when working on linux, but... when your music collection it's about 32.027 tracks (I am a guitar player and music lover) it's difficult to get rid of accented chars :-) (should I drop baden powell? joao gilberto?...) BTW replacing accented chars using some one-line program could do you more harm than ever -r
