    File naming/track number issue

    Hi,
    since a long time my naming settings are: ...\[album]\[track] - [title]., e.g. ....\Blue & Lonesome\01 - Just Your Fool.flac
    After the update from version 15.1 to version 16.2 I get

    "...\Blue & Lonesome\[[type tag value]] - Just Your Fool.flac".

    With [track_unpad] I get "....[track_unpad] - Just Your Fool.flac"
    In the CD Ripper window the title numbers are displayed correctly.
    Ripping to mp3 has the same result. I also tried 16.3Beta without success.
    Other ripping programs like foobar (%track% - %title%) provide correct file names.

    Please can you post your exact naming string and full path/filenames for the ripped flacs?

    The complete string is:
    [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[track] - [title]

    The path is:
    E:\Rippen
    So my last ripped CD is "E:\Rippen\Garwood, Duke\Garden Of Ashes\[[type tag value]] - Coldblooded.flac"

    So, you have a problem with the track tag. Are you using any DSPs?

    Hi mville,
    I used HDCD and ID Tag Processing. In the ID Tag Processing settings/Additions was the entry "Track". This was apparently responsible for the issue.
    I removed both and got correct file names again. Finally I added HDCD again.
    I can't remember, when and why I added ID Tag Processing, obviously I didn't need it. Also strange, it worked with the former version.
    Anyway, my problem is solved and I thank you very much for your quick help.

    Yes, I guessed as much. Are you sure you need the HDCD DSP also?

    You are right, not really.
    I'll remove it.

    Hey,
    There&*8217;s a long history of filename lengths being a problem for operating systems like Windows. There was a time when you couldn&*8217;t have filenames longer than 8 characters plus a 3-character file extension. The best you could do was something like myresume.doc. This was a restriction in place by the design of the file system.

    Things got better as new versions of Windows came out. We went from an old, limited, file system to something called the New Technology File System (NTFS). NTFS took us to a point where a filename could be 255 characters long, and the file path length could potentially go up to 32,767 characters. So how can we possibly have filenames that are too long?
    So, you can used (LPT) program!
    Thanks!
