Player object and memory

[Peter T. Evensen]

Scott,

Thanks for your input.  I'll try setting it to empty and then setting it to 
the next filename.  I was thinking part of the issue was that at one point 
I was setting the filename to empty and I thought that might be causing the 
issue.

I'm locking message before I set the filename so I don't get a playStopped 
message.  I had seen that issue before, which caused some nasty recursion 
in my other program.
