<![CDATA[GStreamer error: state change failed and some element failed to post a proper error message with the reason for the failure.]]>A very small subset of flac songs I have are unable to be played in Strawberry Music Player but seem able to play in other music players. I wasn't sure it was a bug or if it's just a problem with my hard drive.

Here is one example:

It looks like the path is cut short. Maybe it has to do with some special characters in the path, or the length of the path.
Can you copy and paste the entire path here, right click on the affected song in the playlist and select "Copy URL(s)...", then use CTRL + V to paste the URL here.
