Generic CLI encoder chokes on embedded quotes

[GiacomoGo]

I consider this a definite bug in dBpowerAMP Music Converter -- the Generic CLI encoder, which passes command line arguments to an external encoder.

I'm using the latest recommended LAME, 3.97b, which requires a command line like:

[COLOR=Navy] -S -V 2 -h --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --tt "[IDTrack]" --ta "[IDArtist]" --tl "[IDAlbum]" --tg "[IDGenre]" --ty "[IDYear]" --tn "[IDTrackNumber]" [InFile] [OutFile][/COLOR]

An album like Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" causes 2 problems:
1) embedded double-quotes in song titles (problem with dBpA forming valid command line)
2) long song titles, which are truncated somewhere along the line & cause trouble (this one could be a WinXP issue; or LAME bug, similar to the known bug of LAME failing on user-defined Genre values).

Re: Generic CLI encoder chokes on embedded quotes

A command line has a maximum length, off the top of my head I am not sure what it is (perhaps 1000 characters).

ATM the Generic CLI does not alter the ID Tags, it would have to to pass a tag which has a " within, this has been implemented in the new Generic CLI for R12 (not released yet), but then again why bother with ID tags at all, remove all that and dMC will tag.
