Hi Jan, > It is much more with devices that are commonly operated with long > names - multimedia players come to mind - and these "always" > want a valid 8.3. Would you mind running an experiment for me with your IOneIt MP3 player? Change vfat_build_dummy_83_buffer() to just do this: memset(msdos_name, ' ', 11); and nothing else. Then delete and re-create the files that you had problems with and see if your MP3 player is then happy to play them. That helps a lot with Win98, and I wonder if it also helps with your IOneIt player. As I mentioned previously, since your report I'm trying to test on a bunch of different MP3/media players. So far the tests I've done have worked fine with the dualnames patch, but I'm still waiting on delivery of more cheap MP3 players from eBay.
