>From time to time I check the overall path_filename lengths by a
slightly round about method

- I run a simple batch file containing

> dir "F:\Music_Library" /s/b > "F:\Music_Misc\music_files.txt"
> PAUSE

Which writes the full path of all the files in all the subfolders of my
music collection to a text file.
F:\Music_Library is the root folder of my music library. (This is the
copy I hold on a Windows PC). The quotes aren't needed if the folder
names or text file name don't include spaces but they are essential if
they do.

I then import the text into Excel and use =LEN(cell) to get the length
of the paths, and sort on the column containing the length.
