My biggest complaint about xargs, is if there are any special
characters in the input.  For example, many of my mp3 files have
apostrophes and xargs gets confused.  The only method I know to deal
with the problem is to filter all the file names through a nasty sed
expression to escape all special characters.

Any better or more general solution to this problem?
