 |
|
Hi guys!
When I switched to gentoo, I copied my music-library from a ntfs-partition to my ext-3 partition and the encoding of the filenames was automatically converted to utf-8, as I had mounted the ntfs-partition with the nls-option.
Now, I want to use the files on my shiny new Macbook and MacOS doesn't understand utf. It doesn't matter for normal characters, but all language-specific characters aren't recognised, ie. äöüß. I want to convert the encoding back to the windows-encoding and would like to know, why I failed: here's what I tried.
| Code: | | convmv -f utf-8 -t latin1 (I tried cp1252 here too) -r music/* |
Thanks in advance for any help!
PS: To be honest, I don't know, what encoding Windows uses, and I couldn't find any Information on that subject.

Found it! It's cp850!
"According to Microsoft, it is obsolete and unsupported." (Wikipedia) -
well, it is the only one that works with Windows... |
