So I wrote a quick Python program to find all the long paths and manually renamed them. Now everything scans.
I actually quite like to use Windows these days - I find it stable and mostly pretty easy to use and quite configurable. But it's a bit annoying that it officially supports long paths but then various programs - even Explorer - don't function entirely properly with them. Maybe it's time to consider a platform switch. d6jg wrote: > From your example it looks like you are trying to use folder names as > some kind of database structure rather than tags. > I know Classical is much more difficult than other music but why not > simplify the folder structure in favour of more tagging? > If your tags are correct then LMS really only needs albums in individual > folders. > > Edit.

But I like to also keep information about the physical CD/LP which I keep in the folder structure (as well as some less standard tags). So I keep each CD (or in this case, box set) in its own folder. This makes things easier when, for example, ripping or copying to other devices. But the names of the folders and even the files aren't that important - I can certainly shorten them. I just used a simple convention (taking the names from the tags via foobar2k) as a quick way of setting the folders and files up which led to the long names and paths. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bstrulo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117188
