Hi friends,

big problem :-/

I have some MP3 files in this folder:
/Volumes/Ablage/RRMC etc Hilfe/Bajasch/

The filenames are (including the numbers!):

1. Et weed Naach in Kölle.mp3
2. Freu Dich am Levve.mp3
3. Loß mer noch jet blieve.mp3
4. Kölle un die Pänz.mp3
5. Immer op de Kleine.mp3
6. Samba met echte Kölsche Tön.mp3
7. Loss mer noch e Schlockche drinke.mp3
8. De Zick vun hück.mp3
10. Kölle ming Stadt.mp3
11. Schnaps.mp3

I already applied Mark W.s tip for "the long filename" bug with:
set the filename of player "songs" to "///Volumes..."

(I hope i understod this workaround correctly!?
set the filename of player x to "file:///Volumes..."
...dDoes not work at all!?)

But some songs (4, 6 and 7 actually) will not open in the player:

Result: -> Could not open movie file

Song nr. 4 does have 2 Umlauts in the name.
And nr. 6 and 7 do have more than 32 characters in their filename

All files open and play fine in QTPlayer of course (?)

Any hints are very welcome!

Or is this bad ol' bug nr. 396?
Or am I doing something obviously stupid? ;-)
