further testings showed the following:

1. I did not use the correct syntax with the workaround for loooong  
filenames
in players!

The correct syntax in a script should be (this is a option button):

on menupick was
   put "file:///Volumes/Ablage/RRMC etc Hilfe/Bajasch/" & was into fn
   replace " " with "%20" in fn
   ## THAT did the trick!!!!
   ## Had to open the song in my browser to see it ;-)

   set the filename of player "songs" to fn
end menupick

2. This works with loooooong filenames, but NOT with any UMLAUTS
in the filename (long or short) :-/

Mark, any chance to get this fixed soon?
I am living in the mother country of UMLAUTS!
Not to forget the french and their accents etc...
So this is a real showstopper!


3. OT: The Rev mailserver does funny things like sending my post 3  
times to this list ;-)
