Hello again Michael,

I've been ripping/encoding in Linux for a long time and I never had this kind 
of problem. I transfer my mp3's to Windows and vice-vesa and they all look 
fine (character-wise).  I know what you are talking (I have lots of songs 
which Spanish special characters etc).

I think you may be having problems with your LANG setting. Please try doing it 
all over (rip..encode... on Linux) BUT with "en_US" as the value for your 
LANG environment variable. Try it and see if it works.

You can change it on /etc/sysconfig/i18n (then reboot the machine otherwise 
set it manually on current session).

HTH,
Jorge
