Not so -- it actually shows correctly, provided you use the right encoding. Tell your browser to view the page as UTF-8, and the file name is displayed correctly. By default, my browser Iceweasel views the page as Latin-1, which displays like this: Ευχή του ΙησοÏ.mp3 so the first thing you need to fix is to find some way to tell Apache to include a UTF-8 encoding line in its automatically generated pages. Then at least it will display correctly for visitors. I now tentatively believe that the file names are correct, using the UTF-8 encoding. But you can help confirm this: * What operating system are you using? If Linux, what distro and version? * What is the output of the locale command? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
