Which is where the problem came from. I have no problems with either ext3 or ext4 in "creating" filenames with whitespaces and accented characters. Note the screen shot:- http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/pngTe0u43cmOF.png - that's a file being transferred from a MS users NTFS drive to mine - I can play the file fine (on their drive) but it won't copy across unless I create a non-UTF file system, or rename it. Dumbing down all song, album, and artist names to remove whitespaces and accented characters is not feasible. There's a difference between Camaleon and Camaleón, and it's a difference Amarok has no trouble with. The whole point of UTF is to be able to deal with extended character sets.
