For the files: No
For the playlists: No

All files have normal names and these can be used. Use "dir/b
*.mp3>mylist.m3u" to create your mp3 playlist. (This format is called
"WinAmp playlist but was first used in WinPlay AFAIK - WinPlay was the
first mp3 player in case you were wondering).

If you are refering to FAT32 then you have a diffrent kind of problem.

I don't really think lfndos is of much use, I couldn't use it when testing
LFN support for Arachne. (I'm using MS-DOS).

Actually I never had time to test that (with Arachne), I'll need to do that
some time.
