filenames - Windows 7 file name length limited to 129 characters


I'm trying to properly name MP3s and I hit some arbitrary length of 129 characters (not 128?). NTFS supports 255 characters in file names, how do I fix this?



Star Wars - 6 - Return of the Jedi - 2 - 07 - Battle of Endor 2, Leia
Is Wounded, The Duel Begins, Overtaking Bunker, Dark Si.mp3



Answer



It is possible that you are exceeding a total of 260 characters for the entire pathname, including the backslash characters.


How many characters are in the path, including the name of the mp3 file?
