hi,
mounting as vfat is not relevant since i can access other hebrew files
that are not inside the forser in question.that also rules out the
codepage option. i'm beginging to think that maybe that spesiphic block on
the disk is bad.
as far as dosfsck, it shows no problems.
this is wierd! my mandrake just hates those songs, i guess... ;)
