Hi,
I added the ',' to the command:
curl -X PUT 
http://xxxx.xxx.xxx:5984/albums/6e1295ed6c29495e54cc05947f18c8af 
  -d{"title":"There is Nothing Left to Lose","artist":"Foo Fighters"}'

Still the same problem:
{"error":"bad_request","reason":"invalid UTF-8 JSON"}

CouchDB runs on Windows 2003 Server

Hi

There might be other issues as well but you are missing a comma  
between the title and artist attributes. I think that what you want is
curl -X PUT 
http://xxxx.xxx.xxx:5984/albums/6e1295ed6c29495e54cc05947f18c8af 
  -d{"title":"There is Nothing Left to Lose","artist":"Foo Fighters"}'
