Max length - Directory plus file name
Hi all
just a quick question
What's the maximum length of a directory PLUS file name -- the reason I'm asking this is that I've some CD's (a lot BTW) ripped into directories into FLAC format.
Tidying up the music folders I sometimes get a warning -- Name too long to send to the re-cycle bin.
I need to know the max nr of characters so I can select the ripping parameters correctly. If the combined directory / file name is too long then I might have trouble backing up the data (music) too.
I usually use ALBUM name (extracted from GRACENOTE or FREEDB depending on what the ripping program is) as the directory name and a number of parameters added to the track title - including a number for the music tracks with the album name as the directory.
However I can't seem to find anything on Max file name length for NTFS.
Cheers
