Albums with .....
I have a lot of problems with an album called "The more things change..."
eJ created (or should I say, let me create) a folder that end with "...". Not only is eJ not able to play anything with it, but Windows (XP)
won't let me edit or delete it.
Can you:
1: advise how to deal with this file i.e delete it
2: somehow prevent folders being created with special characters in it?
PS. The album is Machine Head, in case you're wondering... (do ya see? ...?)

Ah ah... i also haved that kind of un-erasable folder created by the eJukebox CD ripper! But now, i don't have it anymore! You want the
solution?

Sorry, but since my misfortune with my mp3s, i'm a bit irritable... (Cynic humour is my therapy)
Thanks a lot for your great skin!

Thanks for letting us know about this problem...under eJukebox v3.88 it will make sure that "." characters are not used in generated folder
names but will preserve them for the id3 tag data. eJukebox already does this for all the other invalid folder/file name characters. Sorry that we
missed "." - hopefully the following will work to delete your invalid folder name:
Use a 'clean' DOS prompt (hit F8 or Ctrl at bootup
and select Command Prompt Only from the Boot Menu).
If the DOS prompt is not "C:\>", issue the following two commands:
C:
CD\
Then type:
CD C:\Program Files\eJukebox\Ripped CDs\
Although you can't type invalid file/folder names, you can use the
wildcards ("?" and "*") to replace any non-valid character(s).
Use caution with wildcards - you may delete more than you bargained
for but the DelTree command will ask for confirmation before removing
any folders.
Example: if you have two folders with names like "FN1xyz" and "FN2xyz"
(where "xyz" represents invalid characters), you can remove them both with
the following commands (comments in brackets):
DELTREE FN*
You will then be asked, in turn, if you want to delete each folder.
