Description Craig 2007-03-02 19:00:34 UTC 
Say you have an item in your library with this metadata:
Album: "This American Life, "
Title: "307 - Episode"

And you set Banshee to save in the Album/Title structure. The path to be written to the DAP will be:
"This American Life, /307- Episode.mp3"

However, this is not a legal VFAT path - directory names cannot end in a space.

Another example of this happening is when some component of the metadata contains dots, such as .. or ...
The path will contain those dots, which are once again not legal VFAT names.

I assume there are other characters that can cause these errors as well, but I haven't run into them yet (I bet star, pipe, colon, slash, backslash, less than, and greater than do similar things).
