Lacamastraveler Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 When I attempt to archive my large music collection I receive a message stating many of my tracks are too long. There are so many of these it makes archiving useless for me. Any workarounds (other than renaming hundreds of files)?

Jim_Hardin Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I don't know of any program for Archiving Music collections in the Suite??? Which one of the 35 programs in the Suite are you using? What settings? Then we should be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacamastraveler Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Jim, I am using Roxio Easy Creator 9/Backup/Easy Archive with the default settings. I can't find any other settings that would assist me with long names. Thanks I don't know of any program for Archiving Music collections in the Suite???

gi7omy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 One thing to watch is the standard you are using for the disc - if it's iso, then the following applies Level 1: File names are limited to eight characters with a three-character extension, using upper case letters, numbers and underscore only. The maximum depth of directories is eight. Level 2: File names are not limited to 11 characters (the 8.3 format) but may be up to the maximum allowed by the 1 byte counter in the dir entry and the filename length byte counter. Typically, this is close to 180 characters, depending on how many extended attributes are present. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660#File_and_directory_name_restrictions However, with Joliet The File or Directory Identifiers may be up to 128 bytes (64 unicode characters) in length. <li>Directory Identifiers may contain file name extensions. <li>The Directory Hierarchy may be recorded deeper than 8 levels. http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/jolspec.html So with ISO, 8 characters per name and with Joliet, 64 characters - these are limits set for industry standard and can't be changed by any software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The short answer is to use UDF for the File System. I do not have that program so I cannot check to see where one would change that. It is normally found under Project Properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
