File too long or invalid error.
Am copying mp3 files from an external ntfs hd partition to a local hd partition.
fileA
which is very long
copies
fileB
mozart_drott_1allegro
does not copy and a bunch of shorter file names don't copy (from the same album).
I changed the album data properties to something shorter as well and it still didn't copy
The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name
is the error.
help?? thanks.
the mp3 plays just fine in media players.
the bit rate on the very long .mp3 (that successful copies) and the error-producing file are the same (320kbps). The error-producing file has a lot of property information (title album artist genre etc) filled in and I tried tweaking that but no effect. A bit of a conundrum. This is vexing because what I'm trying to copy is my favourite and most played classical music files! Why the bloody hell aren't they copying?? this is pisses me off.
okay THIS is really interesting. Within the same (external) drive, folder, or in a different folder, I can't copy the mozart_drott_.mp3 files. I can't duplicate within the same folder or else I get the same error. I feel i'm progressing towards a solution. Could it be some drm thing? the error-producing mp3 files I bought from an online digital download purchase thing.
Finally selecting the file -->Properties --> Details --> 'Remove properties personal information' --> Create a copy with all possible properties removed' gets the SAME error! what the heck is going on??
