What happened?

I tried downlading an album with many artists and it failed with OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long . This is name of album folder which it tried to generate using format_album='Albums/{album_artist} - {album_title}{album_explicit} [{album_year}] [tidal-{album_id}]/{track_volume_num_optional}{album_track_num}. {artist_name} - {track_title}{album_explicit}' was

Johann Sebastian Bach, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Gioachino Rossini, Felix Mendelssohn, Georges Bizet, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Giuseppe Verdi, Georg Friedrich Haendel, Classical Music 50 of the Best, Gabriel Fauré, Pietro Mascagni, John Williams, Adolphe - Рождественская музыка [2019] [tidal-123778216] which has 303 characters. Even using just the {album_artist} -{album_title} was 277 characters. I run zfs which has limit of 1023 for file length, but I suspect that python has lower limit.

There is a workaround when downloading specific album (update config just for it) but does not work when downloading favorite albums or artist.

The solution I was thinking about is to allow passing max length to format, e.g. say format_album='Albums/{album_artist:100} - {album_title}{album_explicit} [{album_year}] [tidal-{album_id}]/{track_volume_num_optional}{album_track_num}. {artist_name} - {track_title}{album_explicit}' where :100 would mean max length

Good workaround would be to skip such albums, log them and continue with following ones
