Version: 0.89 (using KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-4-default When using values from ID3 tags to compose the filename, tags that contain characters that are allowed in ID3 tags but not in filenames (such as ":") do not work. This is only reported in after ripping as a gerneral "could not create ... file" giving the lame command. It would be helpful to get a more specific error message here. Also, I suggest resolving this issue by just dropping disallowed characters from ID3 when using them as filenames. I have to admit that this is a little difficult, as what is alllowed or not somewhat depends on the filesystem used. At least the most obvious one should be checked for (i.e. ":" works on no filesystem).
/ is guaranteed not to work. ? and * are allowed, but are bad idea, as are quotes (' and "). : works fine

I would prefer an option like "secure filenames" which substitutes " ( : * etc. and restricts also the length of the filenae, because some ID tags include a lot of comments
