The shortening fitted the path and destroyed its meaning. Lidarr writes "Artist - Album - 07 - Flamethrower.mp3" inside a directory already named for that artist and album, so a long album title occurs three times in one path and everything that distinguishes one track from another sits at the very end. Cutting from the end removed precisely that: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eter~c526.mp3 All seven tracks on that record reduced to the same string bar the hash. The path fitted; the result was seven files nobody could tell apart on the device, which is a worse outcome than the failure it replaced. Cut from the middle instead, giving two thirds of the remaining room to the tail because the head is generally a restatement of the directory the file already sits in: King Gizzard & the Lizard~c526~ginning of Merciless Damnation - 07 - Flamethrower.mp3 The eight real paths that prompted this are now regression tests: every track on that album keeps its number and title, all seven names stay distinct, and The Beatles' "The Long One" -- whose length is the title itself rather than a repeated album name -- keeps both ends.
