Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I used Sound Juicer under Dapper to rip an album by a group called
Slagsmålsklubben, which ended up in a directory with that name.
Rhythmbox couldn't find it, even if I manually added the directory, or
any sub-directory.

I renamed the directory to Slagsmalsklubben, and Rhythmbox happily found
and played the album. Renamed it back, and I could not play it anymore.

Apparently, it doesn't matter if the files themself have non-ascii
characters in their names, or if their ID3-tags contains non-ascii
characters, since the songs seem to load and play just fine when the
directory, but not any files, is renamed.

I also had an old directory with a ISO-8859-coded ü (my system is
UTF-8), wich Rhythmbox also missed. However, strangely enough, that one
was picked up after I replaced it with a UTF-8 ü.
