iTunes Links broken after updating filename to remove illegal characters

[rovertag]

When I correct a filename to remove various illegal characters (like replacing “&” with “and”… or when accents are replaced with “?” (Dond� = Dond?) iTunes will not be able to locate the file new file. This does not happen with simple text.

“Sam & M�x” will break iTunes link when renamed to “Sam and M?x”

“Fate of Atlantis” re-links just fine when renamed. Even with a complex-ish mask like “02_13 - Fate_of_Atlantis-LucasArts-(1996)”

With iTunes Updates + Keep Playlist of Changes enabled…
iTunes 11.0.2, OSX 10.8.3, Jaikoz 5.1.1

Awesome. There may be a similar issue with folder renaming. I think possibly maybe that adding sub-directories may break links as well… or it may have the potential to break them… or something. I noticed it when I was trying masks that added “Disc 1”, “Disc 2” folders inside of the album folder. iTunes was complaining about some of those tracks.

I’ll have another look when I get some spare time.
