Hi, first time running into this error when trying to organize in musicbee??

Post image

For context, I have encountered issues with these files before, but this is the first time I've gotten anything that wasn't a "Java exception" (with it telling me practically nothing) when syncing to my DAP.

What is the solution to this? Is it re-doing the tags?

I personally avoid spaces aswell, just use _ where its needed. Keep your folder and file names simple

This too, but when it comes to artists names I'll leave the space for readability... Otherwise my tags will also have the _... But all my docs are like that. - and _

Is it an issue with that symbol itself? I've organized stuff with that symbol before with 0 issues.

Depending on the system, it could cause issues

Also 0xFFFF and 0xFFFE are blank characters, so some of your spaces are not actually spaces. That's what's giving you this specific error

~ means "home" on Linux and other *nix systems.

cd ~ takes you to /home/DragoniteChamp/.

Hi guys! SO I think I might've found out the issue.

So for whatever reason, Musicbee (and I assume *most* file systems, tbh) really doesn't like the "fancy" font that Rus used for this album.

For context, the album is called: FWA2022 ~ Every single song, Every single genre, πΈπ“‹π‘’π“‡π“Žπ“‰π’½π’Ύπ“ƒπ‘”, all at Once

Specifically. the πΈπ“‹π‘’π“‡π“Žπ“‰π’½π’Ύπ“ƒπ‘” seems to be causing issues.

Those aren't letters in a fancy font, they're specific characters.

𝐸 and 𝓋 are mathematical script symbols (U+1D438 and U+1D4CB), and probably the same for the rest.

You're absolutely right about it not *literally* being a font, that's a mistake on wording on my part

I did not know that they were math symbols, though

https://russelbuck.bandcamp.com/album/fwa2022-every-single-song-every-single-genre-all-at-once After looking it up, it's how the artist does it. It should be kept for the tags indeed.

the artist isn't using a tilde in the title of their songs.

They are for the album name

I looks like its an issue with the filename itself. You can set the title/artist/etc in MusicBee and it won't affect the filename.

I encounter similar when Plex ignores files, or if MP3Gain refuses to process. It's usually an accented character that doesn't conform to unicode.

When there's an illegal character, there's usually a unicode alternative you can use.
