Hey Stan, I had a similar problem with audio file name back in 2005.
This is a topic which thankfully has been covered a _lot_ other f/oss developers so there are a number of solutions available. The only difference between our situations was that for me, I was moving files from Windows/XP to GNU/Linux and trying to clean up file names. We were talking about possible solution to rename a large number of audio file filenames based on a set of conf file style guidelines back in 05/2005, checkout this thread from the archives: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnump3d-users/2005-05/msg00017.html //kracker 311 - Beyond the Gray Sky - Hide quoted text - On 4/7/06, Stan Mulder wrote: > I've experienced this problem going from a Linux server to Windows/XP > Winamp.
