[QUOTE="simple, post: 71909"] Hi everyone. You guys are been very helpful in the past, so I thought I'd run this by you, since no one else seems to know how to help me. I have a palm tungsten e, and I use it to play music in the car - off the memory card. My problem is this - when I install mp3's with long filenames to the card, the, the filenames get cut off and replaced with numbers at the end. This wouldn't be a problem except the list of filenames is also my song list, so I need to be able to read them. If the filename is "jewel - who will save your soul.mp3", after I put it into the palm the filename gets renamed to this: "jewel - who will sa#4543456.mp3". I have downloaded the latest palm software updates, and no luck. Also no one seems be able to help me on their forums. When I sync on my windoze box, the filenames come out just fine - so I know its the tungsten supports them. I've looked in all the preferences in my mac and palm software, and again no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks folks. Regards, Simple [/QUOTE]
