No "mutated vowl" (German ÄÖÜ) or accents (é) in CrossDJ?

[steni911]

Dear Support Team,

I recently recognized, that Cross DJ (1.3.2) installed on a MacBook Pro (SnowLeopard) is not able to find music files (mp3 or aac etc.) stored in folders containing a mutated vowl (ÄÖÜ) or an accented letter (é) in its name like 'Motörhead' or 'Café del mar' or when the file name contains such letters. This often happens in German 'Schlager' music as the interprets or the titles are named with these letters.
The 'Collection' in Cross only show a red colored path with a yellow triangle "Warning" sign before it, but is not able to open/play the song.
Any issue for an update?
Most German DJ's will have playlists with "Schlager" songs or Chill-playlists with "Café del mar" songs.

Keen on an answer and with regards

Got it...

Using accent in file name is outside of the microsoft world. Will see that...

Hi

I use CrossDJ on a MacBook Pro.

As it is on a Mac, it is as well possible under Windows to name files or folders with accents and iTunes does so (on a Mac as well as under Windows), when artists or songs carry those names.

I have now faced the accent issue with songs from "Beyoncé".

This becomes a problem when assembling playlists under iTunes, exporting them and importing them in CrossDJ. So all of a sudden, some of my songs in the playlist will not be played, as CrossDJ does not find the files.

This should be an issue for an update / bug fix imho.

Regards, Markus

Problem is not solved in CrossDJ 1.5.0 yet!
