I don't think so

move the queue to AFTER the song assignment

you needed to specify a full file-path ...
set member ("Song1").filename = \
the moviePath & "mp3s" & platChar & getat(mp3Files ,2)
> put getat(mp3Files,2)
> put member ("Song1").filename
these two won't match
- the first one is just the filename, the second is path-filename
- of course, the filename part should be the same in both :)
move the queue statement here ->
