There is nothing strange. You have a C string, something like that: char* fileName = "Dracula Der Pfähler.mp3" When you typed this text it was converted into 8-bit code (single byte, ISO encoding). So there is nothing strange that NewStringUTF() complains about "illegal continuation byte" because fileName is not UTF8 encoded string. You need convert this string into UTF8 (aka "multibyte") first, then call NewStringUTF().
