CoverLovin crashes with UnicodeDecodeError

[Max Schillinger]

When I run CoverLovin with my music folder, I get this output:

~/Downloads/coverlovin$ ./coverlovin.py /media/E/Musik/Alben/ -s large
album details found: Absolute Beginner/Bambule in 01 Das Boot.mp3
...
album details found: Die Ärzte/ in Die Ärzte - 3-Tage-Bart.mp3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./coverlovin.py", line 273, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "./coverlovin.py", line 256, in main
    musicDirs = process_dir(musicDir, coverFiles=coverFiles)
  File "./coverlovin.py", line 150, in process_dir
    results = process_dir(dir, results=results, coverFiles=coverFiles)
  File "./coverlovin.py", line 173, in process_dir
    log.info("album details found: %s/%s in %s" % (artist, album, file))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 25: ordinal not in range(128)

/media/E is a NTFS partition (just in case it matters).

I have applied a litte workaround. I have put a try/except block around line 173-175 in coverlovin.py:

        if artist or album:
   try:
            log.info("album details found: %s/%s in %s" % (artist, album, file))
            results.append((thisDir, artist, album))
            return results
          except Exception, err:
            log.error('exception: ' + str(err))
            continue

So CoverLovin has found many covers. Thanks for that great tool!
