On the one hand, digital music has been great for the variety of genres and artists that are readily available and making music. On the other hand, digital music enables artist names like "ββββπΈπππβββββ"ΒΉ. I feel conflicted (and also sad for anyone tracking albums with a limited database schema, you're going to need UTF-8 and emojis in there).ΒΉ https://vivariumrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/gothic-tech

@cks the good news is that Linux's filesystems and mpd(1) will handle those files _just fine_.However, I discovered when using an mpd satellite database setup and an SMB mount from my home fileserver to my work laptopΒΉ and trying to play woob by vool (or vool by woob?

@cks At least this is unicode funnies and for music I don't mind it too much as I don't type it out much, for things like saved up youtube videos it's more annoying.Also reminds me that Master Boot Record once mildly broke some of my stuff due to one of the albums being named C:\>COPY *.* A: -V
