Hello,  
I want to shorten my mp3 filenames to 46 chracters. It's for my mobile phone. There's an option to shorten filenames to 64 characters in convert/actions but i can't edit that option. So if someone can help me i would be very grateful.

Allready figured it out with help from an answer from detlevd
