The path is coming out of the iTunes XML file. It's not just this path, it's a load of them, for instance there are a lot of instances that wherever there is an ampersand it is followed by #38; There are files that have funny accents that cause the problem too, If I read back the same track using AppleScript the weird characters are not there.

I think that the tracks where this occurs were imported from a PC.

Are any of them old enough to have to have passed through OS9? Unless you had the Joliet extension installed, PC-written CDs could get dropped down to '8+3' naming.

I've a feeling that Applescript can cope with the abbreviated filepaths, you may have to write a quick script, maybe something like convert to a Mac path and feed to Applescript, then get a POSIX path back from the script.

But it's definitely a name-shortening problem.
