Thanks Welly

> I have a Bluesound Node and I've never encountered an instance where it would not play a track whether it has accents or punctuation marks... For example, I have numerous tracks by Sigur Rós, whose track name have all sorts of weird characters in them, such as "Sæglópur" and "Bláþráður" and these play with no issues.

> My main gripe with the Controller App is that I can't just play an album directly from the album's icon. Instead, you tap the icon and it brings up a track listing which then gives you the option to add all tracks to the playlist (Unless I'm missing something).

From what you say, I guess you're using the i or Android app, rather than a PC. This is somewhat different in that you cannot browse your collection by Folder - as far as I can see. Folder is nearly always my preferred choice so I use the Windows PC Controller. Have you used this and if so, can you play a track with accents or punctuation marks after finding it via Folder? It'll happily add the track but when it comes up for play, the notice I illustrated comes up and all music stops.

I sort of share the gripe you mention about playing an entire album, although I'd rather be prompted with a "Play All?" flag than have the whole album added to the playlist just by (possibly accidentally) touching the screen. I much prefer the Sonos (and probably J River) option of having to tap (or click) the album icon and then be offered 3 options - Play Now (immediately interrupting what's being played), Play Next (adding after the track being played has finished) or Add to List (adding at the end of the existing playlist)

Thanks
