Hello I need to put some unusual sign into track tag of some of my files. Tilde ~ would be perfect; or even better, a double tilde ~~ But I remember that ~ was showing up in DOS, when I was copying Windows files [with longer set of characters that 8+3]. So ~ back then ment error or some approximate value or whatever So I'm wondering, if it's vise to put ~ in any tag. Could this influence somehow whole tag field or other tags of a file with this sign? I guess that in most cases ~ would not show up on a most of LCD display- but is not my concern. I'm only afraid of putting some weird combination into tag, that when moved or copied will crash other tags [make them unreadable] Any insight will be much appreciated ---

[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde](http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde) From the gut, I would say, the tilde sign ~ is one of the safest symbols.

I started back then using a ~~ combination and to this day I do not see any glitches ---
