Regarding special characters: "æ, ø, å" in playlist

[EBBefar]

Hi all,

I'm having som difficulty in importing playlists to mobil app, when the tracks (or folder) contain the characters æ, ø and å.

The funny thing is that playlists made in the mobil app can have these letters without problem, they can be read in app and exported without problem, so the app can clearly read and write them.

Can someone tell me if it is possible in principle to import playlists with these letters? Or ideas for a workaround?

For context: I make the playlists in PC version, export them from there, and then import to mobile app.

What format of playlists that has an issue?

[EBBefar]

Hi Artem

The format is .m3u8

Here you go

This is a playlist made in the PC version of AIMP. And like I said, the problem occurs when I import it to the mobil app (Android, if that matters.)

Probably not related, but I'll mention it anyway: Since windows and Android reads paths differently I made a small script to change all '\' to '/' as well as the changing the path itself so that it points to the location of my music on the phone.

Share original playlist from AIMP for Windows

Sure

I mean, they are pretty similar. The only difference is the path and \ or /.

Вот видимо этот скрипт и сломал кодировку файла с юникодной на не-юникодную.

Yes, you are right. This script break the encoding.
Anyway, it not necessary to change the "\" to "/" - mobile's aimp supports for windows-like paths.

[EBBefar]

Can you elaborate?

What does that mean exactly, and is there any way to avoid it?

Also, why does it only affect æ, ø and å?

Your script should not change the file encoding. M3U8 must be encoded using UTF8 without BOM.

Also, why does it only affect æ, ø and å?

Because these characters are valid for Windows 1250 ansi codepage only

[EBBefar]

To be honest, I don't really understand any of that, it's a bit beyond my level.

Is there any workaround? I mean, how do other people transfer playlists form PC to mobile?

Try to import this one:

It seems to be working! How did you do it?

I do notice however, that .wma files do not work. But that may be unrelated.
