(Gosh I like that term... Wasn?t that from Fran? Where?s > she been these days?) Does the MP3 player support long filenames? If so, just surround the filenames with quotes as in have each line in your batch file read: copy "d:\mp3\blah album\somethingorother.mp3" "e:\blah album-somethingorother.mp3" If the player doesn't like long filenames, you'll have to do some truncation and sequential numbering thing (and surround the source with quotes). - Raymond ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
