    Hi,
    In all my files & folders (music & video) I have used underscores instead of spaces, just as a habit and thinking it would be the best way.
    Somehow it always 'disturbed' me a little by seeing those underscores when these files are shown in MePo since it's not so nice esthetically.
    I know that in some situations, it's advised not to use spaces but what in this case with mediafiles?
    What are you guys doing and are there any disadvantages in using spaces?
    Thanks for your ideas/comments.
    P.

    I use space, no problem, in music and TV/Film - provided the file processor you use for database is happy [music, built in, TV - MPTVSeries and Films - MovingPictures] can't see why you would have problem.

    I too use spaces in the folder / file names and have never had an issue. Not sure where you see the folder / filenames anyhow? Are you using share views?
