You are right there are work arounds.  They suck but there are work arounds so close this.  The only reason I do not copy over my podcast is that I would need to rename each one that had a question mark at the end of it which I should not have to do.  If rockbox handled this then I would not use the apple side to do this.  Just some thing to think about when making updates to this software.

Llorean:
Do you actually have files with question marks already in the filename, or are they just in the tag? I'm surprised because windows doesn't seem to allow questionmarks in filenames. It seems like something that's a filesystem concern, in which case, no, Rockbox shouldn't allow it.

jmdennis:
The question marks are in the song name or podcast name.  For iTunes it loads these with no problems.  I have to rename them to copy them to rockbox though.  I have songs that had question marks or some times a colon and I have to remove this as well before copying it over.  This takes time as some of my cd's have songs that have this and I have to skip those and rename them before copying them over again.

Llorean:
I don't understand what you're saying. The files on your computer have the names with the question mark, but when you try to copy them to your player the question mark doesn't work?

Please, try to explain more clearly exactly what the problem is. iTunes actually renames the files, which is why it can copy them over.

jmdennis:
I will have to check to see if iTunes does rename the files or not.  When a song or podcast has a question mark at the end of the name and I try and copy them over to my iPod when it finds one of these names it asks me if I want to skip it which I normally do.  I then have to go back in and rename it with out the question mark and then copy it over this way.  If it has a colon which one of my enya songs did I need to remove this before copying it over or it will let me know that I can not do this.  I will have to check and copy over my podcast again using the iTunes software and see if what you say is true or not.  If it does rename it maybe you should create software that will rename the files as they are being copied over to the iPod or what ever player one might have.
