I'm tempted to email this bug report to the NTFS-3G developer and possibly see some action on it. It's obviously not a major bug but it's been like this about 2 years now (probably longer) and when it comes to dealing with it inside a Windows OS it's a serious problem.

I'm not confident enough to propose elaborate solutions to these problems, especially at the technical end of things. I do agree that Rhythmbox isn't the problem here, although one of the simplest solutions would be to make it simple to enable "special character stripping". The problem is in the NT

Obviously this is only a big deal if you're dual booting with another Windows system, but at the same time you wouldn't necessarily create an NTFS filesystem on a Linux only box (you would more than likely do a /home of ext3 or 4, or just a large ext3 or 4 partition). So the fact is that this prob

I can still confirm this bug. I have installed Karmic 9.10 64-bit, updated fully (Rhythmbox is 0.12.5) and it still creates "?" in a song name. Another test was just to create files on the NTFS partition with "?" question marks and ":" colon's in the name using Nautilus and nano on the terminal. I

No, that P4 is a good workhorse, not the most up to date CPU but still can crunch numbers like hell.
