With classical titles they can get really long. They play fine & I didn't realize the significance of this until I tried to copy the files to another location. I ran into long filename issues,& I'm now looking for a program or batch file that will truncate the track names back to a reasonable length or better still remove all the repetitions.
I would like to know what I can do in my naming rules to make sure this doesn't happen again & as well if anyone has any ideas on how I can automate the process of removing the repetitions I would love the help
You've somehow messed up your dynamic naming string. (ripper screen, lower left side, "naming", click on SET. Looks like you have [ARTIST] in there multiple times. The following is the string I use. It handles multidisk and compilations automatically. Anyhow, it's an example. And you can change things in the set screen and immediately see how the file name will look (using the "madonna" example.
Code:
[IFCOMP]Compilations\[album] [IFMULTI] \Disc [disc][]\[track]-[title]-[artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album][IFMULTI] \Disc [disc][]\[track]-[title][]
