[mb-users] Picard 0.9.0alpha1 released - please help with testing

[Erik Dalén]

very nice with the ubuntu package. hope you continue to update it.

anyway, I found a bug. I'm using UTF-8 as charset, and picard refuses to
add a directory with files using illegal UTF-8 (filenames in ISO-8859-1).

And I'm also having trouble with moving .jpg, .jpeg, .nfo etc along with
the mp3's so I'm wondering about the syntax to use in that field.
Perhaps it should be redesigned as a list where you add and remove
filetypes.
