A few days ago I wrote to the dev-mailinglist:

  I can't believe nobody else realized before that some songs are not
  playing when enabling PROTECT_MEDIA. Since it uses an encoded URL of
  the original file the URLs can become quite long and apparently at
  least Winamp (2.81) and Zinf (2.2.1) can't read M3U playlist with
  lines longer than about 256 chars. Unfortunately that is not enough
  when storing files in multiple subdirectories or using a long
  hostname, etc.

I fixed this in CVS now by generating shorter URLs - the b18pre3 which
will be out soon will hopefully work for everyone and every file. You
say it can't play ANY files - I hope this is due to a pretty long file
path, else we have to look for another bug.
