Hi David,

Last week I came close to filling up my /tmp directory experimenting  
with some large files and did not notice.   When I imported I had some  
short files too.  It took me a while to figure out what was wrong as  
well.  I think it would be good to have some warning if a file gets  
cut short.

Also at some point I completely filled /tmp and when I attempted to  
import or Rip CD after that I got some odd error messages.  Something  
like "Invalid audio format".  It took me a few minutes to realize that  
the real problem was that /tmp had filled up completely.

Thanks
  -Scott
