Track filenames #8

Hello, Is it possible to retrieve the filename of a WAV that is on the SD-Card?

Best regards, Quinten

Not currently. As I've written in the past, there are several issues with this. First is that while long filenames are possible, I don't currently look beyond the first FAT directory entry and therefore only have access to the first 8 characters of the filename. Secondly, retrieving filenames could be a long operation that could potentially interfere with audio that might happen to be playing. It might be that requesting filenames would necessarily halt audio. Both problems are solvable, but with a fair amount of work.

Ok, thank you for the explanation
