An easy way to cleanup filenames is a handy little utility called detox. It's so easy to use. After installation, from a command line, simply type:
detox /path/to/files/*.mp3
to cleanup filenames of all MP3 files in the given directory, for example. It removes spaces and replaces special characters with plain ones (i.e. replaces u with accent with plain "u"). It has options, but if you just want the basics all you have to do is something like the above.
