Hi, I'm not so sure if that's an FPC-only issue. MCI commands like that have been around for a while, so spaces might not have been "considered" in the first place.
A workaround was presented years ago, I can only find the archived version: https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/ftp.microsoft.com/MISC/KB/en-us/191/089.HTM Basically, they suggested to create an alias to the file first using MCI "open" first, and then issue "play" on that alias instead of the filename.
