I am not sure about explicit drive references. Actually, I
think we should limit it to _relative_ paths.
We should also decide on a preferred - or maybe even fixed -
directory name delimiter. I suppose that it should be "\",
even though Unix and Mac people probably have different
preferences.
And what about the case of file names? My MPD splitter
converts all the file names to lower case before the files
are created. I suspect that this technically is wrong.

It is my impression that the MPD splitting _should_ create
any missing directories.

Agreed.
Play well,
