Russian filenames

[bolnaia-sobaka.livejournal.com]

I have some Russian music files on my computer. For some, I can see the cyrillic filename fine (which I assume means it was typed on a computer running in latin alphabet mode). However, I have some files that seem to have been written on a computer running in cyrillic, since the filename shows up as gibberish.

Example: Владимир Высоцкий - Äèàëîã ó òåëåâèçîðà

The singer's name comes out looking fine, since I wrote it myself. But the title of the song... Erh...

Is rebooting my computer in Russian the only option I have for knowing what the title is?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, thank you so much! :o)

I tried doing it on my own, but it's not working... I downloaded Shtirlitz, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. Do you think you could give me step by step instructions?

Is kate only for Linux and Unix? I don't have any text editors installed on this computer. Do you have suggestions for one for Windows? I downloaded one, but I could change the encoding to iso-8859-1... Argh!

I don't really know, but you've got better options already as I see.

In Stirlitz, click on New icon, then paste the content into the new text window. At least I do it like this.
