Ok, that worked. So now is up to utf-8. I didn't expect this change so
soon, but if that's where the future's pointed...

Now I need to tool to convert latin1 content of some text files
(basically m3u playlists and checksum.md5 files) to utf8 inline. I
couldn't do with iconv, it needs an output file and I wish it just
worked as convmv, where the input file is the same output.

thanks a lot.
