Does the file really have such a weird name? In any case, I think this is d=
ue=20
to the fact that the file scanning code changed. Madman used to check that=
=20
the last three letters were "mp3" and was satisfied, now it requires that t=
he=20
*extension* be "mp3". Since the file name doesn't appear to have a dot in i=
t,=20
madman finds no extension and bombs out with an exception.

I've added a more graceful failure mode for this case: It'll just skip the=
=20
given song. Hope this helps.

Never tried that, can't say. I usually do patches with tla what-changed=20
=2D-diffs. They're not arch changesets, but nonetheless human-readable chan=

summaries.
