Some of my playlists refused to be edited in moOde. They were also ignored by MPD. Some had to to with apostrophes, others with characters like è or é in the filename. Trick was here to open it (on Win) in NPP++ and save the playlist file as a UNIX UTF8 file.
As long as the correct characters are in the metadata tags, the filename can be plain ASCII, with all "special" letters just being replaced by their "plain" ones. This I meant. Then, of course, the contents of the playlist file will reflect such changes.
Anyway I do not think that MPD complains about - for example - French accented letters, provided the text in the playlist and the actual filename are the same in terms of encoding... But a single quote, like in Runnin' (final g elided...) can make the text an incomplete string for a not-so-acute parser...
