See below...

some comments:
1. "set the playrate of player XYZ to 1" already STARTS that player!
2. OFFICIAL syntax to start a player object: "start player XYZ"
3. "play" is "reserverd" for playing audio files that are NOT in a player object

Not that this would cause your problems... 8-)

Hm, I also use a lot fo mp3 files and never had any problem with any player object (on a Mac!!! ;-)
