Yes, this is excatly why we have chosen to have UTF-8.
We are writing all other playlists in UTF-8 format.
The m3u spec clearly states that it needs to have Windows-1252.
So we can have 2 options:
1. Save in UTF-8, which preserves e.g. Cyrillic and the file cannot be opened in WMP
2. Save in Windows-1252, which allows then the file to be opened in other players, but cyrillic leters are lost
An option could be to use Encoding.Default.
If it is used on your system, it'll use your Encvoding, thus preserving your letters.
