#2 Crash when encountering illegal characters in ID3 tags

[Anonymous]

Winamp crashed several times during different transfer
operations. Eventually I ended up with a database on my
player that had seriously mistagged music. Songs in the
wrong album, gibberish in the genre field, misnamed
tracks, etc.

Possible Cause:
I can trace it back to one thing in particular. Illegal
characters in Windows (eg. * or ?). If the tracks have
illegal characters in their ID3 tags, when uploaded or
downloaded they cause Winamp/ML_Sony to crash. This
crashing happened so many times that I'm pretty sure
it's what corrupted my database.
