Can someone quickly confirm this ( bugzilled already) ... a bit of a  
serious problem for me at the moment:

a) get an .mp3 file... any will do. Make sure the number of chars in  
the file name (inclusive of extension) is < 33

e.g. someFoo.mp3

b) set some player "test" to this file and confirm it plays as  
expected on a

start player "test"

c) now go to the finder (OSX, Tiger) and change the file name to

somefoo0123435678901234567890123456789.mp3

d) now go back, set the player  object to this same file which now  
has a file name with >33 chars...

e) start player "test"

here, the player object is now simply "dead".... go back... truncate  
the file name to <33 chars... try again... now it works..
