WMP File name workaround?

I'm pretty spartan when it comes to my media,especially my music. I want just the name of the song ,artist, and time. I can change ,remove or alter my files to get them that way with no problem with a few exceptions. The way I do it is right click the song>file location>properties>details (1st)>general (to finish). This works just fine for 99.999% of my songs. Last night as I was tidying up some files though I found an exception. This is maybe the 2nd or 3rd of these I've found so this is not earth shattering in importance just ......... annoying to my sense of order.

So here goes , this particular song is "5:15" by The Who. (as mentioned there's a couple of others) Windows will not let you name a file with certain symbol's in the name. The colon is one of them. ( Is there ANY way ,through windows or third party software, to give this file its rightful name? At the moment I have it named "5 15" but........ that's just not the NAME of the song. Yeah I know you're all laughing at me for such a small quibble but, what can I say?



Thank you
