Thank you Sir

The only suggestion I can make is to edit the files if the are mp3 to change them with an mp3 tag renamer program. I am sure some will do batches. I don't think you can configure studio to ignore accented characters.
I would try one track manually and rename it and then try to import it in studio. Also email Ots they may have a suggestion.

Hello All,

The above subject refers.

I have lots of digital music, whose track names have accented characters like these ones here:

é   ó   è     à   ř   á      ä     î   ç  ö     ø      ü      ñ   ï      å     í    ü   ë  č   ć,   ć    ; _
ł   ę   ÿ   ě   š     Š ú   ý  ã   ß  ê   ż  ò ù ì Ž

Now, the problem:
when I batch import the music, I get errors "the tracks could not be imported: Skipping. and the tracks cannot be read;". I inspected the affected tracks and concluded that ots studio refuses to import tracks named with accented characters.

Request:
Who can help me with a tool which can batch re-name (or remove accented characters) from all the tracks?

Is there a way we can configure ots studio to ignore accented characters and import the tracks the way they are?

Alex

HI Lane!

LOL a small note: the phrase "its just programming" I didn't realize that was your signature!  OOPS! heheh

when Ben moves out, maybe the extra bedroom can become your station's "remote" studio?! (being a lot less cramp!)

programming for Liam..  I'm sure hes a good kid (adult, now!)  BOTH of your boys were good (though I wasn't around to hear all the fun stories of them being teenagers!)

hows that little rambunctious kitten?! being the spunky little devil that she is AND putting on the cute maximum!

I want to thank you for visiting the WARP Chat the other day; it was really good to chat with you and to see that everything is doing OKay for you and the family.  it sure would be nice to hear from other Ots'ers as well, such as Jammin' Adam, Milky, Nikki, etc.. and even some of the newer Ots'ers, like SocialDancer and others from the Otsusers forum, too!

I turned the message into an ad heheh ;)

I look forward to hearing from you (Lane) and, maybe, others from here as well! 

'till then, all be healthy, safe and, most-important, HAPPY!

I still operate it. Canada hasn't really gone digital (it technically exists). Analog transmission is still what most people listen to.

Ben is moving out to his own apartment soon. Liam is still with us, and since COVID, he's basically been with me 24/7. Once Ben is gone, we'll start working out whatever programming etc. for him. I want one problem at a time!

I've joined the warp chat a few times over the last couple of years hoping to catch you there. I'll have to try more often!

yep yep! its all just zeros and ones hehe

speaking of:

do you still operate your "event" radio station from the trailer in the driveway?  (a discussion about special event licenses came up..)  and, how did you deal with the digital changeover?

also, how the heck have you been?!  hows the wife and kids (esp Liam)?

I hope all is well in these trying times!

Hey Zath!

Yeah, the emoji's are the same old ones. When I changed them up, it broke how they display in old posts.

As usual, I'm late to the party...  but the forum DOES look good!  (at first, I thought it was a FAKE site / hijacking..  I'm glad that its good ole LANE and the Ots Forum! WHEW!)  now, I'll just have to get used to things a bit, but I'll survive :)


ooOOhh! I LOVE the "night mode"! :)

looking good!

(note: the emotes now seem a little out of place.. heheh ;) )
