What's the "forbidden" characters about ?

Some characters - like "#", "o-umalut" and so on - might not be suited for a filename when streaming/downloading.

With the introduction of "forbidden" characters, you (or whoever has administrator access to AmpJuke) can configure the "forbidden" characters.

The "forbidden" characters are simply a sequence of characters that you don't want to appear in a name when streaming or downloading a particular track.

If you f.ex. enter #!%& as being "forbidden", a track name like
Somebody & Somegroup - #1 Sometrack !
....will be streamed/downloaded as....
Somebody Somegroup - 1 Sometrack

In other words: The "forbidden" characters have been filtered out before streaming/downloading.
