FileBot

Hi guys,

I was trying to rename my music files when I've encountered the following error message:
"Failed to exec fpcalc: Cannot run program fpcalc: CreateProcess error=206, the filename or extension is too long."
What should I do?

Thank you very much!

Never seen that. Do you have some oddly long filepaths to either filebot install or media files?

Try downloading Chromaprint (http://acoustid.org/chromaprint) and copy the executable somewhere that's definitely in the PATH. Like system32 or something.

No, nothing special. The FileBot filepath is the regular one that is chosen defultly by the installation wizard. The same goes for the media files D:\Music\...

I didn't understand so much what to do with the Chromaprint, what is it supposed to do?

I'm having the same problem. I'll put fpcalc in system32 and see if it helps, but I doubt it will.

Read the link => http://acoustid.org/
Chromaprint computes the audio-fingerprint so filebot can look it up in the acoustid database.

Try using MusicBrainz Picard instead for music.

I know what Chromaprint does, I just don't quite understand why that's giving me an error.

But thank you for the other suggestion.
