Hi Alexander, Unfortunately I can't reproduce your problem - I am successfully able to play a song with # in the title. Perhaps you could make the file you are having trouble with available to me so I can test with it. Perhaps it is the version of xine you have installed.

Perhaps it is the version of xine you have installed. I have problems not with the only file, but one of them is publicly available here: http://www.ru-bl.ru/audio/download/29/Doshirak.mp3 By the way, my processor arch is x86_64, I wondered why I haven't been asked during the bug report submission. Now Amarok doesn't crash before switching to file#name.mp3 (but I don't know what could have changed!)
> http://www.ru-bl.ru/audio/download/29/Doshirak.mp3 This file doesn't have a # in it. Infact it doesn't have meta data.
Indeed. Closing report again then. Alexander, please don't reopen it yourself. You can also comment on closed bug reports, and if we think it's valid, we'll decide about its state.

Hi, I'm the submitter of the original bug report 159411. It's a bit of a fringe case and I'm not too bothered about it but I sincerely thank you all for looking into it. Thanks to the age of the original report many of the screenshots I posted can't be retrieved anymore. I resubmit one in particular: it's the screenshot of the playlist where the inconsistent behavior showed. Again: this is a screenshot from the original report and therefore an old version of Amarok. I'm still on a 1.4 version of Amarok but if any can be reproduced in Amarok 2 it's at least intriguing, I guess. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/3360/amarokbug.png I've fixed the problematic songs in the example so I can't see where they differ anymore. Seeing the inconsistency, it doesn't have to be something caused by Amarok but by a filesystem or permission issue or so. IIRC the problematic songs could be played by Kaffeine though.
I have the same problem, but Dragon Player can't play files with # either. So it's a bug in Phonon, I've opened this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194889
