It wasn't removed. It was never there! Period.

As I already said, if there are no characters outside of ASCII in your filenames there is no difference. So for most users there shouldn't be any difference. And, please read my first post in this thread. Why are you claiming thing that aren't true?  >:(

Well, Rockbox was able to handle umlauts in playlists before the unicode change. So he is telling the truth.

bluebrother:
I don't think so. The codepage was changed, so the playlists encoding changed too. He told something was removed, but there wasn't anything removed -- the encoding was changed. Which is different IMO.
Also, using umlauts in playlists still works (I have such playlists myself!) -- they only need to have a different encoding (namely utf-8).

Right! This statement confirms my logic:

Rockbox of September 2005: m3u-playlists with umlauts work fine!
Rockbox of October 2006: they have to get converted now.

Is it so difficult, to support both kinds of encoding?

I'm working on it
