Albums have suddenly started to behave strangely.

I use Bliss, and they told me about that filename limitation. For stupid reasons, I use my own java program to copy music from my local iTunes to my NAS, so I just changed it to print out all the filenames that are too long, then I hand edited them.

But, it turns out that the Albums I found that were bad all had long songs on them - I could have just edited them first.

Can anyone else confirm that this is a fix? I don’t think my affected files and paths are that long…

(Infuriating that this is STILL an issue, amongst all the new product launches and noise about the company learning its lesson after the app debacle).

I don’t think my files/paths are that long with my affected albums.

I’m not sure that it is a fix.

AFIK There isn’t an official fix, yet, We live in hope.

I can confirm it is not a fix. I shortened all path names that were over 160 characters and re-scanned. It just changed which albums showed the problem. Just like any other change to the library does.

Edit to add: None if the previous albums showing the problem were ones that had the long path names over 160 characters.

It did fix it for me, and one of the ones showing the problem did have a long path. I will repeat what I keep saying. There is some issue with long paths, and there seems to be some other issue.

I’ve been chatting with support about this. This is the response I got:

After double checking this behavior and all the provided details with our internal documentation and higher department, we would like to explain to you that this issue is currently under investigation. Our engineering team recently detected a Music Library indexing logic issue associated with this album behavior, and they are actively investigating to provide a fix as soon as possible; however, we do not currently have an estimated resolution time to provide.
