My wife has  some russian MP3's and I went through and changed all the song titles to the correct russian spelling.  Now SK Jukebox ignores all of those files.  I'm hoping there is an easy way to fix this.  Renaming everything would be extremely time consuming.  Any suggestions?

Not sure about this one.  There should be no limitation on this, perhaps you could e-mail me a list of the file names, and I could try here?  Also, are you using ID3 tags to get the names?  If so, what happens if you let SKJB just use the file names to get the title?

Well when my wife downloads these music files the website is all in russian, but the filenames that get saved are all a garbled mess.  I've seen the same thing in emails and it has to do with some kind of encoding (at least the emails- switching from 'western' to 'cyrillic' encoding fixed them)

I changed the artist and album directories to 'western' lettering and SK Jukebox picked them up fine.  The song names showed up as mostly &^&?, or something like that, but at least it saw them.

Problem was the songs still wouldn't play.  It would just sit there doing nothing.  It wasn't locked up though, I could still skip the song and put new songs in.  That seems to me like it's also going to be an issue with the mp3 engine, which could make a fix quite difficult.

I figure it's not worth your effort to fix something that affects very few people.  My wife will just have to rename them.  Thanks.
