Hypen date problem in song title?

[Funky Avocado]

Howdy-

I may be doing something silly but I want to name my mp3 live files like "song(2004-02-05)". Problem is when I add them to my play list in winamp it comes out like "song(2004 - 05)".

How do I get around this?

Thanks!

Nevermind. Figured it out. --> $filepart(%filename%) in advanced title under preferences.

I had the same problem. And my sollution was:
Winamp - plugins (ctrl p) - Output - and use the Null Output plugin

Hope this can help someone else.

I'm unclear where you are putting the name "song(2004-02-05)", in the filename or in the Title field of an ID3v1 tag.

But I tried it both places and couldn't reproduce your problem. It shows up in my playlist either way:

a) File named "song(2004-02-05).mp3" with no ID3 tags is
listed as "song(2004-02-05)" in the playilst.

b) Any file with "song(2004-02-05)" in the Title field of
an ID3v1 tag (select in the playlist and hit Alt-3 to edit)
shows up as "song(2004-02-05)" in the playlist.

Please reply with sufficient detail to reproduce your problem.
