Hi,
It seems that if an mp3 file's whole pathname is about 255 characters long or more, editing the tag from the Music Collection just silently deletes the file. OS is WinXP Pro.
I guess keeping the music collection under My Documents\My Music is a bad idea, at least if artist\album names are long as "Nigel North, various guitars (on original instruments); Maggie Cole, fortepiano_viginals\Classical Guitar Masterpieces on Historic Instruments"
For some reason, WinXP allows you to rename files so that the whole pathname exceeds 255, but you cannot move files to a directory so deep that the resulting pathname is more than 255.
Anyway, an error message from the tag editor would be a good idea.
Thanks,
Stenu
