I select '_' as a replacement of '/', because:
1. It's a ascii char which should have a good display in all platform (I
guess?).
2. It's just a connect character, I mean it has not obvious meaning, not like
'&' can mean 'and', '+' can mean plus, etc.
I found some alternative char of '/' such as U+2215 you mentioned, but I'm not
good at font. If those unicode charactors can behave correctly with most fonts,
I think they are good replace for '/' too.
Maybe we can add a new var called 'emms-tag-editor-rename-replace-list'? which
has a format like
(('/' '_') ('\' some_unicode_char) (':' some_unicode_char))
It can handle any chars such as '/', '\', '<', '>' (windows has many forbidden
chars in filename). So emms can have a good work on windows.
