How to remove special characters from folder names
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2014 4:36 am
I have some albums that do not display album art in MMA because there are special characters (e.g. '#') in the album names. I was advised that the only workaround was to remove the special characters from the album names and from the folders that contain the music files. I did that and then I re-installed all of my music and the MMA app on my phone. (Before re-installing I un-installed MMA and then I deleted the 'Music' and 'Playlist' folders on my Android device. Then, I rebooted Android.) This solved the problem on my phone. However, tonight I tried the same process on my Android tablet. The crazy thing is that the folders get re-written to the tablet with the special characters retained. I have no idea how that is happening. Those special characters have been removed from the file structure in Windows Explorer and from MMW. I did the process twice and this still happened.
