H-
Some things to consider.
You might want to do a search and replace for any spaces and special
characters and replace them with the underscore for all files. This way
you won't get the Netscape error messages and it also might be affecting
IE.
For instance.
Provoke - Quick Blast.mp3 would be converted to
Provoke___Quick_Blast.mp3 Or just remove white spaces.
The reason I mention this is because in your last paragraph you mention
using the name in a web link.
If it's not encoded correctly (meaning, has whitespace) netscape will
choke. Don't know why IE is freaking on the name. Is it being saved
correctly in the directory? What is the DB filename?
As far as the file itself not playing. Sounds like you're not saving the
file out correctly. Might want to check for bin types or some such thing
for saving binary files. I know if you don't have the correct header and
save out code your images will be screwy. Perhaps it's related. Sorry I
can't be more helpful.
Well that's all I can think of right now.
Hope it helps some or gives a direction.
