Seems like bug fix 3402 might be in the wrong place? With the code as is, artists that contain accented characters do not show up in the slimserver DB. However, if I comment out fix 3402, it works again.

I'm guessing that maybe the bug fix should be placed after the following code segment from Importer.pm?

		if ($] > 5.007 && $file && $Slim::Utils::Unicode::locale ne 'utf8') {

			eval { Encode::from_to($file, 'utf8', $Slim::Utils::Unicode::locale) };

			# If the user is using both iTunes & a music folder,
			# iTunes stores the url as encoded utf8 - but we want
			# it in the locale of the machine, so we won't get
			# duplicates.
			$url = Slim::Utils::Misc::fileURLFromPath($file);
		}
