Right, yes I did try that and all works fine using the contents of the it
variable that comes back. It uses the "/Volumes" format for the mounted
folder/file.

Problem is though that I already have the location of the file I want to
play (but in "file://" URL format so don't want to prompt for it.

Maybe I can get this working by somehow transposing the "file://" format
file URL I already have into a "/Volumes" format.  I'll give that a try and
report back.
