I am trying to set the title based on the filename. The file is in a Win32 NTFS filesystem, so it could have non-ASCII chars in it. What I am stumbling on it how to coerce it into unicode. I have tried: name = filename.split(....) blah blah blah audio["title"] = unicode(name) But I still get this error. I am not real up to speed on the whole unicode end of things, so any kind suggestions would be most welcome. By the way, I believe the offending string contains a German umlaut, at least in one of the cases. Similarly, when I just try to *read* a tag, I get these kinds of errors: print audio["title"] Will sometimes choke ...
