PerfectTUNES Album Art Having Issues with Japanese Characters

[KaitouG]

I've been having issues with the latest version of PerfectTUNES Album Art where if the album starts with a Japanese kanji character it doesn't seem to find it.
For example:

Album Art combines 2 albums with 8 tracks into 1 "album" of 16 tracks:




This is also not detecting some albums I added recently that have kanji characters for both artist and album:

(Album Art window is scrolled all the way to the bottom)

The next version will help with this. Between 2-4 weeks off.

Thanks for looking into this! Will that version also help with splitting albums if they have parentheses in them? I have albums that are titled as:

Brotherhood
Brotherhood (Collector's Edition)
Brotherhood (Super Deluxe Edition)

AlbumArt lumps all of them into 1 album, can that be fixed as well so I can edit album art for each version?

[Spoon]

Yes (if they are in separate folders).

[KaitouG]

Thanks for resolving those navigation issues. But now I keep having "Error Writing to File" errors when trying to fix any of the covers:


I've made sure the files are not read-only...
Here're the Options if they're helpful:

[Spoon]

It is likely the files do not have write permission, where they are stored.

[KaitouG]

No file permissions have been modified prior upgrading to the 2025-03-28 version, these were working as is before.

Are these files .m4a? I had a bug of my own that seems to stem from trying to add album art to .M4A files (Japanese). I converted the base. wav files to .MP3 and .M4A as a test, and the MP3 gets the cover art added correctly, whereas the .M4A files give me an error.

[KaitouG]

These are indeed .m4a files. MP3 files for the same Japanese artists/albums work fine.
I also tested with .m4a files for other non-English albums and it's the same Error Writing to File errors.

[Spoon]

If the filename has Japanese characters the writing of album art fails?

[KaitouG]

No, album art fails for all .m4a files. I tested with English characters in the file name as well
