Windows version has option to translate unfriendly characters in fields when renaming file from tag - specifically double-quote " and question-mark ? Where these exist, in %TITLE% for example, on the Mac those characters will appear in the filename. That can cause issues with my NAS and non-Mac clients trying to access the music. Can you put an option in the Mac version to translate these characters to null or something else when renaming files? ---

Thanks for your suggestion! I've added an option to "Replace invalid NTFS characters" to Preferences \> General with Beta 5. ---
