3 things to check:

- What kind of music-files are yours? (MP3s, Waves?... )

- Could it be that the path including the filename of the musi-files exceeds the common windows-limitation of 256 characters?

- Can you write tags to the files?

Could it be that you wrote an (invisible) space after `%setsubtitle%`?
