WinAmp ripping - name problems

[aolsson]

As suggested I now rip all my CD:s to FLAC. I found that WinAmp generally does a great job with this. On occasion though when I look at the resulting folder the file names are listed as type "file" instead of as "lossless audio".

This is typically for classical albums like "Mehta Stern Zukerman plays Vivaldi". WinAmp creates pretty long track titles for these.

Could the file system on my Nas have a limitation in some way that could cause the problem?

It can be the windows 25x character limit ? Your only allowed 255 ? Or something letters from the root like D:\bla bla... Inkluding drive letters and spaces .

If you are ripping to FLAC and use the tagging , you may not so lengthy file names ? You can probably change a setting for this

The NAS is Linux it would accept longer names, 32000 something ?

You could rip to a local directory closer to root to allow longer names, but you may stumble on similar issues while copying .

Maybe you could mount the NAS share differently ? If it's somewhere in the user structure like c:\documents and settings\user\my music\NAS
You are wasting characters for nothing

the windows limitation is something like 254 chars for both filename AND path combined.

i love winamp, but i rip with EAC. esp if you are going to rip to flac, i strongly suggest you use EAC instead.
