The long and short ENTRIES in the directory appear to be not associated properly, because of one of the 3 things (Position, Numbering, and Checksum) you mentioned in another email. > > > The file or folder's long name ('Celtic.m3u') is either stored incorrectly > > on your disk or is incorrectly associated with 'CELTICM3.A41'. > > This clearly says that scandisk understands that the shortname for > Celtic.m3u is CELTICM3.A41, but that there is some error in the long > name.
