I couldn't believe I would be the only one experiencing this.
Would be nice to see a workaround for this, I have a lot of new albums that I cannot copy to the Pi now without powering off the Pi, connecting the HDD to my laptop and reconnecting it to the Pi.

Ping. This worked!

I've got this problem as well; a lot of my music includes Scandinavian or cyrillic characters. Any work-around possible? I really like Raspyfi otherwise, but this is something of a deal-breaker.

RaspyFi cannot handle files or folders with special characters on my external hdd? Hdd is Fat32, if it matters. As far as I know RaspyFi uses UTF-8 and should be able to handle special chars, right?

Some folders and files that were already on my hdd when I connected are now renamed to strange names. For example the albumfolder 'Ænima' by Tool is renamed to '_F81RN~A'. Same for the track '02 - Ænima.mp3', the file is renamed to '1L9FMC~M.mp3'.

Because of this I also cannot copy files/folders with special characters to the Pi through the network. Error I get is that the source files is too big for the system. With José James this was easy to fix by just replacing the 'é' for a normal 'e', but for some of the Scandinavian artists in my library that is going to be a problem.
