slashes are illegal windows chars, so that wouldn't ever make it to a hash.. the OS won't take the filename.

I guess it's the apostrophes I'm wondering about.
Here's my thought on the question of apostrophes.

I don't like to see apostrophes (a.k.a. single quotation marks) in filenames because I use the command line on a regular basis, and to cope with filenames with spaces in them, you surround the file name (or folder name) with single quotes. If there's a apostrophe already in the file name, it'll think the file name ends there and the operation won't proceed because a file or folder with the truncated name doesn't exist.

Granted, there is a workaround for this, but it is very annoying to have to put a \ before every space, apostrophe, parenthesis, or other 'invalid' characters.


(P.S. Listen to skip--foobar should do what you were wanting to do. And if any Linux users are reading this, Ex Falso is a fantastic GUI for tagging.)
