Writing file names:
Often I see names of files, usually music, with underlines substituting for the spaces between words. what's the purpose of this and are there advantages to composing titles this way instead of the track and its author separated by spaces?

Re: Writing file names:
I don't know about the situation presently, but Unix when I was using it did not accommodate file manes with spaces, like Windows and the Mac do. Therefore, people who create files on some Unix servers use underlines instead of spaces.

Re: Writing file names:
Well i usually see artist and title separated by dashes, I know that various pieces of software use the dashes as delimiters to establish where one feeld starts and another feeld ends. For example, OTS DJ will use this format to take note of the title and artist of a particular track when playing it so that the correct information can be displayed to those who are taking your Internet radio stream. Itunes uses this way of file naming to import the correct song information into its database.

Re: Writing file names:
High Albert, No, you can edit those out. Sometimes, I find MP3 and other audio files on the net where the name of the song and artist are running together. So just to make it look neat, I rename the files but with spaces between all of the words accept the file extension. Hope this helps.

Re: Writing file names:
that is the reason they give but for myself I find underlines annoying. If you need to create a filename without spaces you can do so by capatalizing the first letter of every word. this will be readable in any OS and by any screen reader. ** Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net skype: talmidim msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Kelly Pierce [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 7:55 AM Subject: Re: Writing file names: I don't know about the situation presently, but Unix when I was using it did not accommodate file manes with spaces, like Windows and the Mac do.

Re: Writing file names:
It will be readible by most synths except for sapi5 so I do use underscores for that reason.
