I'm all ears... in this app, the sound file is downloaded over the
net... and later thrown away... the source file is on our server and
will continue to carry the long file name... so, temporarily changing
the name of the file is not "dangerous" in this context and since we
"own" the files, it's not like I'm messing with my clients file
archive... but still I like the alias possibility.
I would need that to work on both Mac and Windows... do you have a
cross platform script to code an alias?
thanks

I know this is a pretty dirty sounding workaround, but what happens
if you place an alias to the file in the user's temporary files

If you want to deliver a media player now, the only way around
this is to
have your app duplicate the user's media somewhere on their
drive, rename
it, and then make sure to delete the duplicate when you're done.
For a few
files, one by one, this might be OK, but I question whether this
is a valid
workaround for potentially dozens of multi-megabyte files.
