I discovered that you can't copy files to the Cowon iAudio X5 digital audio player if they contain a variety of unusual characters. This is probably true of many other such devices. I wrote a simple script, rename-special-chars.pl, to automatically remove any such special characters from all filenames underneath the current directory.
To make this work, you'll need to get the Perl module Text::Unidecode from CPAN.
