A puzzle: I've been copying these mp3 files from filesystem to filesystem over the last 10 or so years, and the names have been garbled, possibly more than once. What were the original filenames, and what character encodings were used?

I rescued the exact bytes of the filenames (and threw in a couple other non-garbled track names for extra context).
The
å
above came from coercingc3 25
(which is not valid UTF-8) intoc3 a5
(which is).
