Package: gnupod-tools Version: 0.98-2 Severity: normal I uploaded a bunch of mp3 files to my iPod using gnupod_addsong. It was very straightforward, but after I did it, many of the songs wouldn't play. After some investigation, I noticed a pattern: songs with particularly long names didn't seem to work.
I experimented with a few things and found to my surprise that changing id3 tags or iPod attributes for the files didn't help - they still didn't play. However, simply *renaming* the files and re-uploading them did work. Specifically, I have a file called: [01] York - The Reachers of Civilisation.mp3 Uploading it to my iPod with gnupod_addsong worked, but the song refused to play. However, if I do this: cp "*York*.mp3" york.mp3 gnupod_addsong york.mp3 The song imports and plays just fine. Are we overflowing a buffer or miswriting some binary data somewhere?
