Watch for a filename length issue in iTunes
Authored by: Krioni on Feb 10, '05 01:28:45PM
The surprise is that when iTunes adds characters to a file name that is almost 255 characters, it should make sure the resulting name is less than 255. If it does not, it is not honoring the 255 character file name limit.

So, the problem and surprise is that iTunes here is not handling the limitation properly, but instead just failing. Proper handling would be to follow a user-definable preference on how to change the name automatically, or AT LEAST letting you know which file is causing the problem. The way its working now is almost the worst way to "handle" the limitation.
