   We use redirected folders too.  I'm running Media Player "8.00.00.4477".  I 
   choose "Save As" and save things into "My Music" just fine.  You said you 
   were using a beta, so I wouldn't put much trust in it.  Most likely not AFS 
   problem, but who knows.

Media Player 8 runs fine. Media Player 9 does not (running
9.00.00.2926, the latest).

Note that it _does_ correctly play from 
\\%hostname-afs%\all\andrew\...\My Documents\My Music\...

but not from

Z:\andrew\...\My Documents\My Music\...

which is where my redirection is to.

somehow I'm not sanguine about it getting fixed before Media Player 9
is released.
