[Rhythmbox-devel] Problem storing podcasts on fat32 partition

["Mat Lowery" <mat lowery gmail com>]

Relevant background information:
* Ubuntu 7.04
* Rhythmbox 0.10.0

I recently installed Ubuntu 7.04 alongside a Windows XP installation.
My podcasts were moved to a fat32 partition.  It appears that some
characters (e.g. a colon) that appears in feed titles are illegal
characters on the fat32 filesystem and therefore Rhythmbox fails to
create the directory containing podcasts from that feed.  (I get the
error when adding podcast feeds into Rhythmbox.)

Specifically, this is a feed title that I believe contains illegal
characters: http://www.npr.org/templates/rss/podcast.php?id=35

Is this something that other users have run into?  If so, would it be
worth converting illegal characters into legal characters?

Thanks!
