Sure, and that's fine if you really do only ever look at the tags. Some
people (myself included) do use the filenames for some things, and in
some cases (e.g. some portable players) you have no choice. I'd always
rather fix bugs than work around them.

Oh and with my pedantic code-reviewer hat on there is the (ever so
slight) risk of data loss here. Consider two files in the same
directories whose filenames differ only in accented characters. I can't
imagine it happening, but I've regretted saying that in the past :)
