Err um, how are you sharing this over the network? SMB, SFTP, carrier pidgeon?

Why are you using illegal chars in your filenames to start off with? Only use alphanumeric and underscores. You might want to google for a renaming app in Ubuntu (too busy to look it up but there are many such apps).

Remove the "?" from the filenames? It is in any case a good idea to not have those kind of characters in a filename. Only use "-" and "_" with alphanumeric characters.

for NAME in *\?.mp3
do
     NEWNAME=`echo $NAME|tr -d "?"`
     mv $NAME $NEWNAME
done

This should do it. Might want to replace the "mv" with "echo", just to make sure it works.

install mediatomb on ubuntu and share. Then on windows discover media devices ( media tomb is a upnp device ). This works well in win7, but needs some help in XP....

What did you use to rip the CD? Or is this pirated music?

Why are you using a NTFS drive in Ubuntu? You can use any filesystem over a network and it will work fine.
