Hi all,

If, like me, you had a subsonic install which mangled non-ASCII characters by default, do the following:

Turn subsonic off.
Open a terminal in the subsonic jail.
Paste this: "vi /usr/pbi/subsonic-amd64/etc/rc.d/subsonic"
You're now in a text editor. Go down until you see "export LC_CTYPE="UTF-8""
Place the cursor after the =" and press i to enter insert mode. Then type "en_US." and press esc. Don't type the quotes, obviously. Do type the period.
It should now be: "export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"".

Then, after esc, type ":w!", enter, ":q". Now close the terminal, start subsonic again, and rescan your media library. When you're sure all your files are detected, do a cleanup to get rid of the incorrect files.

I'm hoping Joshua will be able to fix this on his end and make the fix unnecessary.
