These 2 paths look identical, one from the drive & the other from an xml url:

They are actually are different strings.  The name is spelled
differently between the two.  Móchate vs Móchate (the former seems to
be the correct spelling according to my inline spell checker).  Is this
from your own program? I wonder how it got switched?


Use the 'ascii' function to see what's different:

>>> ascii(a)
"'/Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - \\xa1Mo\\u0301chate! _PromoMix_.wav'" 
>>> ascii(b)
"'/Users/macbookpro/Music/tracks_new/_NS_2018/J.Staaf - \\xa1M\\xf3chate! _PromoMix_.wav'" 
>>>
