Folders are created for track names containing slashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For example:
http://www.amazon.de/Perception-40th-Anniversary-Box/dp/B001RYWB64/ref=dm_cd_alb
um_bb_alt

Track 14 is called
Indian Summer [(8/19/66 Vocal]

Pymazon creates folders for such tracks, see screenshot.

Seriously? What is Amazon thinking? Who put's "/"s in their file names?

Pymazon is acting exactly as intended and is creating intermediate directories 
for the "perceived" path. 

I really can't believe they did that...

Anyway I'll think about the best remedy for this. 

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Probably the original download tool takes track/album/artist name and decides 
about a suitable filename, quoting such characters. I guess there are not that 
many 'AC/DC' fans using Pymazon, otherwise this would have been discovered 
earlier. Replacing all slashes in the fields with space characters should do 
the job.

As a small update to this issue:
I've just started using Pymazon on my Nokia N900 with the latest firmware (so 
QT4.7). By chance, the album I decided to download had a couple of tracks with 
slashes in the filenames. Unfortunately, I think the permissions set on the 
music folder precluded the creation of folders, so the download of the album 
hung once the first track with a slash had reached 100%.

Later on, I used the same .AMZ file to download the album on my (Windows) PC, 
and noticed that the Amazon downloader replaced the slashes with ' - ' (ie. 
Space dash space) in its "to be downloaded" list. The track title in the 
metadata still included the slashes, so it's obviously a bit of logic Amazon 
have had to include in the downloader program to deal with this issue.

As long as I took the time to make it, I would like to request that you 
consider the patch I submitted in Issue 40 in addition to Rick's. I just wanted 
to make sure you didn't miss it with the ticket merge. I feel like it's more 
comprehensive than Rick's change, but of course no hard feelings of course if 
you prefer Rick's. Thanks.

I'll consider all patches when I make a new release.

I get the same Error not only with the song title also with the album name. A 
good example for this error is the album 180/365 from OK Go because all the 
song titles include a date at the end with a couple of slashes :

Attached is another patch for this. The "patch01" in this issue only addresses 
track titles, and is unix-specific. The patch in Issue 40 prevents you from 
making a template with intermediate directories in it, like 
'${artist}/${album}/', if I'm reading it correctly.

I made a patch a while back to tide me over until somebody found time to make a 
real patch. I just updated it for 0.9.1 so I might as well upload it here even 
though it is kinda ugly. I decided to turn slash, colon (for Microsoftish file 
systems) and backslash (just because) into underscore, and to filter all fields 
except track and disc numbers.
