> I listen to a lot of foreign music and have had a hard time populating my zmusic database Oh noes! I too have lots of foreign music in my collection, and it seemed to work fine. I'm using the tagging framework out of MusicBrainz' Picard application, so things should be pretty flawless. I wonder what happened... Maybe the encoding system-wide needs to be set to UTF-8 so Python picks this up? If you email me more information, I can take a look. > why did you decide to use tab characters in your python? I'm partial to Linux-kernel C-style. I like tabs. That's what they're for. Holy wars though. What else? I use VIM, KDE, and Gentoo. Death to Emacs, Gnome, and Mandrake! Ahh, preferences...
