but I'm not 100% sure of the cause

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Name of a group, no?
Yes. That's the iTunes way. (Plus album names, which become subdirectories under the band name.) So any sort of weird name can cause UNIX-y problems. Years ago I had many problems with managing .mp3s thanks to Björk....

Hey. New board.
What program is used to open a file with the extension .mkv?
VLC should be able to handle most of them. MKV is a container format for videos, like AVI or MOV.

Did you know that in OS X you can modify ownership and permissions of a folder using the finder, and then apply those changes to all subdirectories?
I just learned that. So my iTunes problem is solved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can't do that in XP, etc? I thought it was a standard perq of the GUI file managers.

I thought you could do stuff like that in XP, - I just never noticed I could do it with the OS X Finder. (I tend to always use the command line to control ownership and permissions.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
