Identification is more important than typing. I can copy and paste into a terminal if necessary.

I don't think Last.fm will even send those characters. In any case, control characters in artist names are rare enough that it's not worth the trouble to write the code to avoid the problems associated with them. > As soon as you have a small, finite list of invalid characters, writing > an escape system is pretty easy. Probably. I was just hoping there was an existing system that would work, but as I said in a different reply, it would seem I need to roll my own.
