I've got ~1500 mp3s in my collection. They're organized into many directories and subdirectories. They're in (a directory on) the removable memory card of my n810, symlinked into ~/MyDocs/.sounds/

If I try to browse the library by Artist, I get the "Updating Index" screen, which hangs at 31% complete.

Running "MediaBox 2> err.txt" when I do that produces the attached file. It complains about a UTF error, but it doesn't seem to tell me which file/directory it's having trouble with.

I do have a few direcories/files with extended characters in their names. If I remove them, I can browse the library. Trying to add this directory to the playlist (so I can shuffle it all) however adds only 442 items. It's still failing somewhere, but I can't see anything in the log.

Does MediaBox just not handle these?
