A workaround was provided by Mark Waddingham: set the filename of
a your player to a *file* URL, ie
file:///Volumes/Primary/Users/mark/Desktop/really_really_really_long_filenam
e.mp3

Important: make sure to replace any spaces in the name with %20, even though
you should *not* use a fully URL encoded path.
