Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
Amarok cannot play files if they contain '#' (hash) in the path name. How to reproduce:
1. Create a directory. Put a sample 1.mp3 file into the directory.
2. Check that the file can be played by Amarok.
3. Rename "1.mp3" to "1#1.mp3"
4. Try to play the file in Amarok. File is loaded, tags are displayed correctly, but the file cannot be played.
The problem looks similar to bug #317526. However, the response in bug #317526 was that the problem is likely to be caused by GStreamer backend; I am not using GStreamer, I am using Xine backend.

I'm having the same problem, except with .m4a files. A file that included the "#" (pound sign) in its filename wouldn't play, though its tags displayed correctly. Acting on a hunch, I removed the "#" symbol and the file played correctly.
This behavior didn't happen for me with Kubuntu 9.04 using Amarok 2.2.1.
