Re: ERROR when playing protected WMA files in Hoster
The period was assigned to the name by windows & it is not a problem. Songs with short song names, a short artist name & a short album name do play in the original directory. I agree there may be some characters that do cause a problem with specific songs, but, as S Parks indicates, if the period in the filename was a problem, none of my songs would play.
Windows Media Player & Mix Meister both find every song on my hard drive so any limitation that is not built into Hoster has to be from within the Windows dialog box being used for the lookup. I moved my entire directory (very simply in less than 5 minutes) to My Music (Under the Root Drive). This eliminated 4 sub-directory's. Once you get through the Folders for Artist Name & Album Name, the Track #, Artist Name & Album Name are also appended to the Song Title. This is also how they show up in Explorer. You've Made Me So Very Happy is still 157 characters long and still won't play.. When I shorten the Name to just the Song Title, it plays.
