Hi,
Sorry your post got truncated (our forum software can't cope with 'smart quotes'), but I get the gist. Can you attach a sample file that you want to import please? I'll then look into it. This doesn't sound hard to fix, although there may already be a workaround - where did the file come from (or what software did you use to create it) please?.

Yeah, it seems the forum software can't handle non-ascii either.. :) The message was truncated at the first example accented character.
I have attached a sample with a single track. It was typed manually in a text editor. Just create a new album and import, no need to record or import audio.
I am on MacOS Monterey, running VinylStudio 12.5.2 Pro from App Store.
Thanks,

Yeah, sorry. We didn't write it :)
So yes, I see the problem and we will fix it in the next Beta.
In the meantime, you need to save your files as 'UTF-8 with BOM' (or possibly 'UTF-8 with signature'); then it will work. TextEdit doesn't appear to be able to do this but there's a nice, free editor in the App Store called CotEditor which can. So I would download that, configure its Preferences appropriately and you should then be golden.
Ahh, I see. I will try with BOM.
Thanks a lot for your responsiveness! I love VinylStudio, and use it a lot!
Best regards,

OK, great. You could try it with Beethoven's fifth - BOM BOM BOM, BOM. :)

;D
Adding a BOM works around it. Looking forward to next beta. Thanks!
OK, thanks for updating me. I will let you know when that becomes available (there's a bit of code reorganisation going on at the moment, so it won't be for a while).
