hmmmm. not so fast! (smile) I'm working with sound files daily ...
For the "Keep It Simple Fan Club"... try this,
known to work ..... for .mp3, .wav, .aiff, .m4a sound files on the Mac
Make new stack:
create player... set height to 17 pixels, loc locations... name it
"Listen"
Now:
create new field... call it "dropAudio" (or whatever)
put this script into that field.
on dragEnter
set the acceptDrop to true
end dragEnter
on dragDrop
put dragData["files"] into tPath
set the clipboarddata["text"] to tPath ## I often want that path
for other reasons...
stop player "Listen"
replace " " with "%20" in tPath
set the filename of player "Listen" to ("file://"&tPath)
start player "Listen"
end dragDrop
Viola! (Big Violin!) Mp3 Player... 11 lines of code...
Disclaimers: no error trapping, assumes a single valid QT playable
file drop, and doesn't handle special characters... works here with
file names as long as:
09_law of another chance 5-21-61 discipline begets freedom
6/18/61.aiff.mp3
I have about 6 different "flavors" of Rev mp3 players... used in
various contexts for different tasks.

Further disclaimer --! Aiyo! (lamentations of dispair in Tamil) Long
file names not recommended on the Mac if you can avoid them, as
there are other issues with dealing with long file names that are
*not* solvable like the QT player assignment is... and Rev *really,
really* needs to fix this. Worst case scenario I'm experiencing now
is using "Save As" in a template stack and then users, type in a 42
char filename....and the result is an un readable, un processable
file name with some hash string. in the file name.

Much appreciate all the information and efforts on this from everyone.
It does explain the problems I've been having making an MP3 Player
for myself.
I believe that this isn't just a dragData issue either, as I've had
problems with trying to load files into the "player" with long file
names on OS X.
Well nix the MP3 player for me. :-(
Thanks,
