Identification is more important than typing. I can copy and paste into a terminal if necessary. I don't foresee typing out one of the
filenames being anything more than a rare occurrence, but I will occasionally just read the list.

I don't think Last.fm will even send those characters. In any case, control characters in artist names are rare enough that it's not worth
the trouble to write the code to avoid the problems associated with them.

Probably. I was just hoping there was an existing system that would work, but as I said in a different reply, it would seem I need to roll
my own.
