You do not have (or write programs for) filesystems that contain loads of ancient mp3 and wma files.

It is the bane of my existence, but many programs support all the Latin-1 and other file name encodings that are incompatible with UTF-8, so users expect _your_ programs to work too.

Now if you want me to actually _display_ them all correctly, tough turds...

True. Btw curious, is there a defined encoding for text in mp3 metadata? Or is that a pain too.
