I downloded batch 1 from pianola.co.nz and tried to process them with
my midimod2 program. Some files do not process because of the long
file names. Windows long names are not uniformly supported. Adhering
to a few rules makes them work better with a greater range of
programs. Do not use spaces or special characters unless absolutely
necessary. I use _ instead of space and avoid any non alphabetic
characters unless essential. One way to get the files to process is to
rename them with my rename as track program. It will find the track
name and remove all questionable characters, replace spaces with _ an
rename the file with this new name. I did this to the files and they
all processed perfectly. You can find the program on the following
page along with other utilities.
