In your library: using “smart quotes” instead of "straight" Options

[StardustMemories]

Since I kinda prefer typographic punctuation, I was wondering if doing that in your music library, too, could bring up any problems I haven't thought of yet -- like iPod might not support it, or maybe Windows can't show them correcty…

Here is an example:

“Summer’s Almost Gone”

instead of

"Summer's Almost Gone"

I know it's way easier and less complicated using the regular straight quotes and avoiding unnecessary mistakes, and I can't see any reasonable advantages apart from style, but I just had to think about it. And since you rarely see people using typographic punctuation, I'm curious what you guys think and if anyone else has been considering.

Thanks!

PS: I'm on a Mac, and I use iTunes.
PPS: And, yes, it doesn't really look good with exactly all typefaces (see this forum), but it does in iTunes (Lucida).

Yeah, thanks, that's probably it, but I have a Mac. And foobar2000 -- Windows, right? And there are not many quotation marks anyway.

I'm using Tune•Instructor here which is a pretty good Tagger for the Macintosh. And it's already on -- probably for a couple more hours. Ratatat tat tat…

The tricky part is rather phrases like –Rock ‘n’ Roll– or –You ‘n’ Me– and Italian short forms like –‘Na voce, ‘na chitarra e ‘o poco ‘e luna– and some French stuff. Because simply replacing the –'– with an –’– won't do it here as you need an opening one (–‘–). All the others like –let’s– or –Barry White’s– should be fine though.

We'll see what it looks like and how many tracks I have to correct manually afterwards.
