ITs not just the volcano in Iceland thats causing problems..its their
alphabet too!

Saved several tracks to my Favourites...would not show up.
When selected the playlist just showed up...NOTHING

Wasnt finding the file location I thought? So I went into SqueezeCenter
settings and did a comparison between the ACTUAL file location and what
SqueezeCentre had it as.
BINGO!
The only way I could play these tracks was through the "Music Folder"
option

Problem songs were by Sigur Ros, an Icelandic Band.
Icelandic Characters were not being interpreted properly by
SqueezeCentre and as such the Tracks were not beng read in their proper
location in the music library.

Some examples from my favourites, both working and not working.
Making a direct comparison this way enabled me to see where it was
going wrong...and yup, it was the Icelandic characters!


*EXAMPLE*

D:\Music\Tori Amos\2007 American Doll Posse\03 Bouncing Off
Clouds.flac

file:///D:/Music/Tori%20Amos/2007%20American%20Doll%20Posse/03%20Bouncing%20Off%20Clouds.flac
(Works - full track name: no breaks due to odd characters)


D:\Music\Sigur Ros\Takk...(FLAC.cue.log)\Glósóli.flac

file:///D:/Music/Sigur%20Ros/Takk...(FLAC.cue.log)/02%20-%20Gl%F3s%F3li.flac
(Doesnt Work - the character "ó" is interpreted as a break in the
filename)



D:\Music\Sigur Ros\( ) (FLAC.cue.log)\(Njosnavelin).flac

file:///D:/Music/Sigur%20Ros/(%20)%20(FLAC.cue.log)/04%20-%20Untitled%2004
- Untitled (Njosnavelin).flac
(Works)


D:\Music\Sigur Ros\Hvarf.Heim (FLAC.cue.log)\Hvarf\02 -
Hljómalind.flac

file:///D:/Music/Sigur%20Ros/Hvarf.Heim%20(FLAC.cue.log)/Hvarf/02%20-%20Hlj%F3malind.flac
(Doesnt Work - the character "ó" is interpreted as a break in the
filename)


Foreign Characters causing problems? I renamed filenames and they
showed up again, note its bacause of the FILENAMES not the Tag names..

Glósóli
became Glosoli (letter o changed)

Hoppípollaa
became Hoppipolla (letter i changed)

Hljómalind
became Homeland (letter o changed)

A quick rescan of New and Changed Music later..problem solved!
