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 :) -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22689 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
