I have some more info about that encoding issue I was reporting. ~ $ (call-process "mp3info" nil t nil "-p" "info-artist=%a\\ninfo-title=%t\\ninfo-album=%l\\ninfo-tracknumber=%n\\ninfo-year=%y\\ninfo-genre=%g\\ninfo-note=%c\\ninfo-playing-time=%S\\n" "c:/Users/asc/Music/Arvo Paert/Adams Lament/01-06- Labbé agathon.mp3") 1 ~ $ Error opening MP3: c:/Users/asc/Music/Arvo Paert/Adams Lament/01-06- Labbé agathon.mp3: No such file or directory

These must be encoded using default-file-name-coding-system. Its value is cp1252 on my system (Windows). As I wrote in the very first mail, I prefer to write UTF-8 encoded files, but I'm not free to choose the encoding of my file names. This encoding is provided by the file system. The doc string of file-name-coding-system is also interesting: file-name-coding-system is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is nil Documentation: Coding system for encoding file names. If it is nil, `default-file-name-coding-system' (which see) is used. On MS-Windows, the value of this variable is largely ignored if `w32-unicode-filenames' (which see) is non-nil. Emacs on Windows behaves as if file names were encoded in `utf-8'. That's why Emacs handles those filenames just fine. It's only a problem when calling external processes such as mp3info.
