If it's for MP3's I agree totally. The question mark shouldn't be that
important, and the IDv3 (or even IDv1) tag should have the question mark
anyway. xmms and WinAmp both can read in tags upon loading.

BTW, if this is just for sharing MP3s, why not try a v.small Apache and
Apache-MP3 combo? It allows streaming, fatching, and relies on the IDv3
tag instead of the filename... And Apache supports .htpasswd and Listen
for that touch of security (ie people on the net not stealing bandwidth
cos they found that MP3 they've been looking for). Just a thought.

PS Sorry, I was a bit too tactless re:- my comments... It's seemed too odd
a Q from someone who's just set up Samba :)
