(Solved) Using players to play mp3 files on Windows

[Thomas von Fintel]

Answering myself:
It turned out there was an issue with the fileName property of the 
player. I simply wasn't setting it right.
Now it works at least on the Virtual PC. I have to wait until Monday to 
find out about XP + Media Player.
