I've been using the foobar to move my music around a bit recently and it's worked very well. There's been a problem with certain albums though.

Every now and then certain albums (i haven't been able to find any common properties between them) create extremely deep folder paths. I think the program gets stuck in some sort of infinite loop and i have to abort to stop it going on forever. The music is moved to the bottom of these paths and i have to go through them renaming the folders so that I don't get a "Path Too Deep" error.

Basically what I want to know is does anyone have any idea how I could move the music out of the these deep directories without having to browse through them and rename all the folders?

I would also really appreciate it if anyone knew of a quick method of just deleting these directories, windows won't let me since it can't read the full depth of the path.

Thanks in advance!

Does nobody have any ideas?

Holy crap. I thought i was the only one who had faced that problem (I still don't know what file causes it to behave that way).


I don't think it's possible to delete that folder using windows. Just use a Linux live cd and delete it with ease (I used ubuntu livecd to do the trick)

I had the same problem, nice to know that you can delete it with linux.
I reformatted the drive but that's not always a good solution. What I do know is that you have a mistake in your titleformatting code that causes this loop.

This was my problem, but maybe it can give you more of a insight of what yours could be...
