Renaming a Song?

jefflynn	Date: July 26, 2007 @ 12:32 PM When I rename a song on my artist edit's file manager it doesn't mess with the actual file's url does it? I mean when I upload an MP3 it is usualy something like "mysong.mp3" but I don't like the site using the song file's name as the title of the song it lists in the music section and on my music page. So I have been changing the song names after uploading them to something like "My Song Title". Is that OK? ...it won't screw up the sound file right? Just checking because I remember reading something here about uploading files with no spaces. Thanks, Jeff
FraDonaghy	Date: July 26, 2007 @ 12:48 PM Yeah, the filename shouldn't contain any spaces or it may affect people's ability to stream it. However, when you upload a song, right next to the section where you "browse" for the file to upload, there is a section to input the desired "title" of the track. So for example your file name can be "mysong.mp3" but if you enter "My Song" in the title section, that is what will show up on your artist page.
