UTF-8 encoding and ALBUM display

[Thermionic-Emission]

When I rip a CD with a script called Abcde and transfer the aiff files to the music server, the music only shows up in alpha order. It is never displayed within Album Artist or Album listing.

I can do the same ripping on a Macbook Air with XLD and when the files are transferred, the the new music shows up in all the different listings.

I ran the locale command on the rune audio server, and get the following:

LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

I am trying to force the Abcde script to export as en_US.UTF-8. This is what my MX Linux laptop is set to use. Am I heading in the right direction?

Thank you,
