Several of my mp3 files (including the paths) have become longer than 254 characters. While this is a limitation of Windows to an extent, windows can handle longer file names.  I need your program to handle the longer filenames/paths.

I also need your program to be able to search for any path/filename combination and report it - thus allowing me to take either automatic or manual steps to corerct them.

Mp3/Tag Studio should already be able to handle any path that Windows itself handles.

Also, exactly what "path/filename combinations" are you talking about that should be reported? Please clarify.

With the path/filename combinations - it would be those that exceeded a specific length.  If the path is determined by parts of th e tag - then the user should be shown the different parts of the tag, and the length for any paths that exceed a configurable number of characters.

This will allow for the identification of problem paths - a major headache for individuals using these technologies.

Also - on a sidenote - I am curious as to why musicmatch supertagging is so much better than gracenote cddb.  I understand why its better than freedb - because that relys on the track order, and vacinity to other songs.  While gracenote, and musicmatch does not... yet gracenote sure falls severly in comparison to musicmatch's supertagging technology.

I haven't seen any such auto track recognition technology that I found reliable enough, so I have no idea, sorry.
