Organzing files on the XL

Okay, so since there is a 512 item limit on 100mb zip drives I figured I would just make a folder for kicks, snares, hats, etc. Now each of these files (when I load it on the xl) has that root symbol next to it, and once I go into those then there are the programs (w/sounds) that I put in the files. But two things: First there are two files that go something like trash~1... and d~sto... or something. WTF are these? Also it changes the name of my programs from like "VinylHats1" to something like VinylH~1. WTF is this?


Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is a character limit to the length of filenames...if its too long the mp just shortens it to the acceptable length....thats all it means

But I usuallyhave longer names like "PrincePaul" or something and those are left alone. What gives?

You must be using a computer... Are you???

Yeah, what does that matter?

so does taht 512 item limit also apply to the Multicard Reader?

No, I don't think so

Remember there is an 8 character limit so that may be your issue.

There are compatibility issues between the MPC and PC's based on file systems.
