Hello!
Just started using foobar and am converting some of my .flacs so I can get them on my iDevices (stupid Apple, not supporting flac...) and the naming system I use is [artist] - title, but square brackets are special chars in the naming field. How do I get it to output with the actual [ & ] characters in the file name? Thanks! |

You should be able to just put single quotes around them, like '['. I believe that will make them show up.
