mac file name fonkyness

[mark]

Thanks to Scott and Mark W., this works like a champ if your using long  
file names on a mac and trying to set the fileName of a player to these  
long names.  I suppose another option is to use the "rename" command to  
generate shorter file names,  but then you screw yourself if you want  
to continue to use the same media in itunes.
thanks again,
