There is a 255 character limit and I think the only limitation is that
it can't start with a period. So there normally should be no reason you
can't fit everything in the filename. Details about Apple's HFS+ format

Hi,
I'm having a problem renaming files. I am going through some mp3 files I have
and renaming some of them. Basically, I hit enter on them and take off the
track number and then add the artist to the song name. this has worked fine in
the past with no problems. This morning, however, I am getting an error
message which is saying that the file name is too long or has punctuation. I
have checked and double checked and there is no punctuation in the file name
except for the dot before the extension of mp3. The file name can't be too
long as it's just the artist name and the song title and this has worked
before. I have done a verify disk and have repaired disk permissions.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Caitlyn
