I seem to keep finding things that aren't in the FAQ or on
either of the boards I've searched. Anyone know what the
max single file size is under 2.0b3? I can easily upload a
68mb (whole cd) file, but it will never get added to the file
list or the playlists. No errors, but a warning if I've tried
to add to the playlist that the list doesn't equal the correct
# of tracks now.

Wondering if there is a file name limit as well.

I am not aware of any file size limitations. Your 68 meg file should have worked as far as I know.

Please give more details on the warning message you got. Exact text would be nice, and a description of when and where it appeared. Was it on the player, in emplode, what?

The file name does not survive the trip to the empeg. The only limitation on the file name is that it must be a valid Win32 file name so that emplode can actually find the file and upload it. Emplode gets all of its data from the track's tags, not from its file name.

There is a known bug in 2.0b3 regarding excessively-long comment tags in files with ID3v2. Does the file have an ID3v2 tag with a long comment field?

Same here - and 68M is just about half of one of Paul Way's mixes - "Infinity Mix" IIRC, which I believe is about 131M large. And that one works on both my MkI and MkII, on the MkII after an upgrade from 1.x and on the MkI after a fresh transfer under 2.0b3.

Hmm checking it seems there was an a$$load of whitespace
in the comment field, yes. Odd though, as it was a new
file I just encoded. Wiping it out seemed to fix the problem.
So it must have been the comment field. but there are no
warnings or errors in emplode unless you also add the
track to a playlist and not just dump it in another field.

Yes I was aware the file name doesn't make it (using the 2.0b3 beta dev kernel) from looking about. the Warning only
occured if I added the new file to a playlist and then uploaded.
It was "The Length of the playlist [listname] did not match the
actual number of children detected.

btw, the warning/error window SUCKS. Having to jerk around
with the window just to see an error is rather annoying.
Have to remember to send that off.

However neither emplode or the empeg seem to like my
unicode, JIS, SJIS or EUC characters. I assume Big-5
chars fare the same. Just mapped to standard 8 bit trash.
I'm fluent in 5 languages, so I use a japanese keyboard and
have a unicode patch to Win9x.

Wonder if I could patch the empeg to display properly. hmmm
might be an interesting thing to do later.

Seems to have been the comment field. Fixed. But yeah, this
was a mix cd I cracked out to see if it would work and I
was a LOT surprised when it didn't.

Always heard good things about his Aleph One mix, btw
what do you think of them?
