Problem:
I have a 30,000 + music library with a plethora of albums.  Over 300 albums have non-usable filename characters (":","?", etc ) in their titles.  Media Center replaces all non-usable characters with an underscore "_".  Is it possible to use a different character for this?  I've been using a dash "-" character forever (and other programs seem to use the dash character also) so all my files have and folder structures have encorporated using the dash character instead of the underscore.  The underscore has always been a space " " to me.  Now I'm have a ton of trouble with importing and linking cover art because Media Center is always expecting/replacing files names with underscores.

Solution:
Could there be some other options for filename character replacement?

Thanks!

Currently this isn't optional.  Dash is often a delimiter for file info fields, so it isn't a great choice.
