I've got lots of CDs that I'm ripping with Exact Audio Copy into lossless FLAC images + a cuesheet. Some of the tracks have titles like:

Artist / Song Title [12" Version]

When EAC generates the cuesheets, it replaces the double quotes with single quotes however. (Also I'm aware that you can't name a file with double quotes). The reason for this is simply that double quotes are used to enclose the information inside a cuesheet field, so adding that double quote would end the field there. But is there a way to escape that information, like you can if you were putting it in a perl program or something? (using a backslash /").

I'd think there would be some way to do this...

If there is no way to do this, could you do a search and replace in foobar to replace all instances of 12' with 12" and such? At least then the information in my local foobar database would be correct, so if I encode to MP3s, the tag information would be correct. (Although then there's the issue with the filenames ).

Any advice on working around this issue would be much appreciated!

In such cases I use two single quotes instead of a duble quote:

I use this: ''
And not this: "

Don't they "look" similar??

Hmm... I guess that's a good idea. The problem I have with that is that it doesn't help you too much if you needed to do a database search for double quotes. Although, realistically, that probably wouldn't ever happen anyways, since the tool I use also handles double quotes as a string envelope (so you can search for a phrase with spaces in it)
