Good question.

I can list the file at the DOS prompt:

"dir /x" gives me "01SYMP~2.OGG" as the short file name, "dir 
01SYMP~2.OGG" does echo back the file name, but "copy 01SYMP~2.OGG" 
gives me a "The system cannot find the file specified" error.

Oh well, I'll just redo it with a different file name.

I did burn the CD under linux, with k3b as a front end to cdrecord, 
using joliet extensions with 128 character file names enabled.
