When we upload MP3 files to a Drupal node that has a jPlayer field configured as a multi-track audio player, the MP3 files' names are automatically forced to all lowercase letters, and the spaces are replaced with underscores, as the tracks appear in the player. This makes the player very difficult to use, and the causes user to perceive the interface as being very unprofessional.

It makes no difference how we name the files, nor how we name the titles in the ID3 tags. Regardless of all that, the track names always show up as all lowercase with underscores instead of spaces.

The real problem is that, when we originally created this feature, capital letters and spaces appeared in track names just fine, so users grew to expect that. Now that someone has noticed that is no longer the case, they feel something is "broken" and needs to be fixed.

Can someone please help us understand what caused this change? Is this something that can be fixed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Sorry for the delay in my response. Have you added file transliteration to your drupal instance? This causes files uploaded to be renamed with web standards. I will haveto see why the ID3 isn't showing up in your title.

On a personal note, having spaces and special characters in your file names is broken.
