I am experiencing serious problems with my external HD, I can't

amarok collection (as you can guess a lor of brazilian, french and
italian music has plenty of accented chars in filenames).

It's a very bad idea to use special characters (or spaces) in file
names.

well, I never use whitespaces and accented chars when working on linux,
but... when your music collection it's about 32.027 tracks (I am a guitar
player and music lover) it's difficult to get rid of accented chars :-)
(should I drop baden powell? joao gilberto?...)

Just don't introduce them in the first place. Why would you have to
remove some files?

BTW replacing accented chars using some one-line program could do you
more harm than ever

Does it matter how many lines such a program has?
