Re: Warning error

Actually, the & is probably not the problem (it *is* a valid character for
a file name under windows), but I *did* have the same problem when there
was a strange character in the artist name or any parameter which is used
to build the path and yields something that the shell does not like. The
only way I found to debug that kind of thing is to rebuild the flac command
line that EAC would create by hand and run it manually on the intermediate
wav file. This generally gives you a nicer error message than what EAC
provides...

Good luck...
