Question for you:

If you change the ampersand (&) to the word "and" (i.e. name the track
"08 - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble - Chitlins Con Carne.m4a")
does it still fail, or does it work?

If it fails, then yes, it's a filename-length limitation.  If it works,
the problem is likely a bug in mov123, namely that it may not be
properly escaping "special" characters like ampersand.

Let us know...
