I took the OP's string at face value and pasted it into the interpreter: # python 3.4 >>> '06 - Todd\xe2\x80\x99s Song (Post-Spiderland Song in Progress).flac' '06 - Toddâ\x80\x99s Song (Post-Spiderland Song in Progress).flac' > Something to do with an accidental decode to Latin-1? If the above filename is the only one or one of a few that seem broken, and other non-ascii filenames look OK the OP's toolchain/filesystem may work correctly and the odd name might have been produced elsewhere, e. g. by copying an already messed-up freedb.org entry. [Heureka] However, the most likely explanation is that the filename is correct and that the OP is not using Python 3 as he claims but Python 2. Yes, it took that long for me to realise ;) Python 2 is slowly sinking into oblivion... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
