Hi,

The path is coming out of the iTunes XML file. It's not just this path, it's a load of them, for instance there are a lot of instances that wherever there is an ampersand it is followed by #38; There are files that have funny accents that cause the problem too, If I read back the same track using AppleScript the weird characters are not there.

I think that the tracks where this occurs were imported from a PC.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

It looks like the folder name has been abbreviated at some stage by an OS that didn't understand file/folder names that long.

Where *exactly* is the filepath coming from?

However I now have a another weird problem, I have a field that represents a file path, in this case the path is:

/Users/Dave/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Blank & Jones/Addicted To Trance (Disc 1)/11 DJs, Fans And Freaks.mp3

However a "if there is a file" fails on this path. When I look I can't see the & in the file name. I'm guessing it's something to do with UTF16 vs UTF8 or something, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. The database I am writing is set to UTF8 which AFAIK is the only option for SQLite.
