Hi,
I suppose this question must have been posted a hundred times, but
Google brings up nothing useful:
Consider "The Wall" from Pink Floyd in an MP3 collection. There's "In
The Flesh.mp3" and "In The Flesh?.mp3" as tracks. Or, another example in
an MP3 collection: There's a Band called "Stellar", but there's also a
band called "Stellar*". Naming files like this is no problem in Linux.
Anyone putting "special" characters in file names has a special place in
hell reserved for them. It is plain stupid, just don't do it.
Personally I would name them all wall01.mp3, wall02.mp3 etc. and add ID3
tags to them. Any decent graphical file manager and/or music player will
display the tag information. Stop abusing the filename to store metadata
when there is a standard for storing that metadata in the file.
JAB.
