Than is that output folder maybe invalid?

Problem solved, I just had to select that folder again

An M3U file — what encoding should it use? UTF-8 without BOM? I’m getting errors with filenames not being read correctly (see attachment and image). For example: JOSÉ - I Will Follow Him.mp3 and BEYONCÉ - Crazy In Love.flac.
<format name="M3U Generic" type="M3U" extension=".m3u" delimiter="," useHeader="False" quote="" quoteEsc="" quoteHeader="False" trim="False" comment="#" encoding="UTF-8" internal="M3U" import="ProgramOverlay">

I modified the line in ProppFrexx.importformats (Program Files - radio42 - ProppFrexx ONAIR) so that M3U is treated as a UTF-8 file, but I’m still getting the same errors with certain characters.
What am I doing wrong?

Not every format evaluates every given option. E.g. the delimiter, quote and other options (like the encoding option) doesn't apply to the M3U import format.
M3U is a defined standard format, which uses LATIN1 resp. the Windows Default Code Page 1252 as its encoding.

However, as some systems violate this standard, there is an option in the general settings, to always use UTF-8 for M3U playlists (see the Playlist Format Settings - Force UTF-8): So you can enable this option, if needed. Else, you must specify all your filenames in 1252 encoding for M3U playlists.

Thanks for the info.
