If it works then my answer doesn't apply. But I got curious and did some
research on the OS X sandbox. Most of what I found was old info but
there's a reasonably readable explanation here:
<http://www.cultofmac.com/113977/os-x-lion-sandboxing-is-a-killjoy-destined-to-ruin-our-mac-experience/>
Which mentions iTunes controllers:
"As pointed out by MacRumors, there are other apps that will be
negatively impacted by sandboxing:
• iTunes controllers (Tagalicious, CoverSutra)"
But apparently you've got it working. I'm not sure about LC 7 file
paths, haven't gone there yet.

Hi Jacque,
Using the "/Volumes" way of opening the file worked!
I ran into one issue - some of the filenames have unicode characters in
them. I searched the list and found this solution from Bjornke:
put unidecode(uniencode(tVar,"UTF8")) into tFilename
That makes things work whether the file name has unicode characters in it
or not.
This, of course, is using pre-7.0 technology. Ou of interest, if I used
7.0 how would I set about translating a string with unicode characters in
it into a form acceptable as an OSX filename?
In answer to your thought about sandboxing, I'm doing exactly the same as
iTunes - accessing music files in the ~/Music/iTunes folder so I assume
they would be within the app's sandbox.

Right, yes I did try that and all works fine using the contents of the it
variable that comes back. It uses the "/Volumes" format for the mounted
folder/file.
Problem is though that I already have the location of the file I want to
play (but in "file://" URL format so don't want to prompt for it.
Maybe I can get this working by somehow transposing the "file://" format
file URL I already have into a "/Volumes" format. I'll give that a try and
report back.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Still trying to get this working.
I can't remember if you tried this yet but what happens if you do an
"answer file" dialog and use the file path that comes back?
