Michael, I cannot get much further with the experimentation myself as I have been systematically renaming all special characters I come across. As a result I have none left!
Yes I am running itunes, which incidentally has no problem searching for special characters providing you can remember which ones to put in the search box. After renaming, I have to ask slimserver to re-scan. You asked about my system: Software. Slimserver 6.51b running for a couple of months (cannot give sub-version until I return home). Ran at least 2 previous versions which seemed to have the same issue. Itunes is v6. WindowsXP Sp2 + updates Files all in local drive c:\my music (typical itunes place) Files. All Mp3s various bit rates from 128 to 320. -----suggestion------- A quick experiement would be to load a couple of mp3s with different types of special characters via itunes and see if slimserver has a problem. Then do the same but allow slimserver to find the file directly on the hard disk. Then do the same re-naming the file but keeping the ID3 the same (itunes will not allow me to do this because I allow it to keep control over re-naming).
