After more testing of your latest patchs
(lkarmafs-0.1.7-escape3.patch and lkarmafs-0.1.7-escape3.patch +
lkarmafs-0.1.7-rep.patch), here are my conclussions:

- I think the escape3.patch functionality of the -E option
  (escape-editing of the originals) is fine.  So, unless other
  users complain, I think we can keep *only* your escape path
  editing (i.e., forget about my wish of retaining both tr- and
  escape-editing).

- The default editing (i.e., no -E option) of the escape3.patch
  version is not good:  tunes having a '/' in their title are not
  shown and the same happens for tunes having one or more ".".  
  Examples:  title="A / B" or title="X.Y".

- The default editing (i.e., no -E option) of the
  escape3+rep.patch version is fine, except that I think most
  people would prefer NOT to substitute " " with "_" by default.  
  I'd also use another symbol for the "/"; for instance '+', '%',
  '|' or, if possible, '\' -- instead of '#'.

- The editing option of the rep.patch version is broken: for
  instance, using `-E "/." "+Ç"' yields `** Libkarma error:  
  gethostbyname() failed'

EV.
