Hello,
I have subscribed to this podcast...
http://kroq-data.com/kevinandbean/Kevin ... ndbean.xml
I'm using version 3.0.1.1120. When I try to manually download a podcast, or have it auto download I get...
Error
Cannot create file "
I checked that it is trying to save them in, "My Music\Podcasts". Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Wes

Rusty,
Did you find any more info on this? MM appears to download the podcast, but it doesn't save them.
Thanks, Wes

Do you have the latest version? It should work fine there.

Jiri,
I have the 3.0.1.1127. I believe that is the latest stable? I just tried it again this morning, and I get the same error. I'm using the default settings for downloading podcasts.
Thanks, Wes

I just tried and it works fine. Maybe you could try to reinstall MM3, just in case you have some older settings from pre-release versions present.

I get the same error with the same podcast. The podcast downloads every time to the end and then tells me ' cannot create file " '.
Reinstalled several times, podcast redownloaded, same problem.

Yah, I wiped my laptop clean, and tried again with no luck either. Kind of a bummer.

It is perhaps because the title is too long.

Thanks Reika. That worked. I edited the title under "Edit Subscription" to be just "Kevin and Bean" (note that i took out the ampersand symbol as well so that might have been a problem) and it downloads fine now. Thanks a million.

I just tried the same fix, and it didn't work. However, I did notice that it will download the Jan 14 show. I get the same error with the others. I think it has to do with the punctuation that they use in the names. The show on the 14th has no punctuation.

MM uses the title tag for the file name in default. When the title tag is very long, the file pass may exceeds limitation of OS(<=260 characters?) .
The simplest method is to save it by original file name.
e.g.
...\Podcasts\<Album>\<Filename>

REIKA,
This solved my problem right away. It was saving them as ...\Podcasts\<Album>-<Title>
So, I guess the title is way to long. Thank you for clearing this up.

Is there any chance that MM itself can look for these types of limitations when renaming podcast file downloads - invalid characters, max file size, etc., and handle them appropriately?
