Bug Description

Just ripped a copy of "Hail to the Thief" in FLAC to my harddrive. Rhythmbox deftly included the files in my library, but when I attempted to drag the files over to a manual playlist, I noticed something strange. The songs "2 + 2 = 5 (Lukewarm)", "Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes & Ladders.)" and "Myxomatosis. (Judge, Jury & Executioner.)" were not copied over.

I attempted to copy them one by one, but Rhythmbox would simply not put them in a playlist. Looking at their titles and filenames, I noticed that they were the only files that had either a "&" or a "+" there.

Hi thanks for your bug report.

Yep, it's Dapper. Sorry about not finding that bug report but I should mention that there was no mention of other "special" characters being made okay in the GNOME bug report.

Thanks Jeff, yeah, the gnome bug report didn't mention other special characters, but I believe the fix included them. Please reopen if you still have this problem when you update to edgy.
