Seems to be a couple of things in play here.
1. smplayer "arg"
This is for smplayer to handle, whatever arg is. "file 89 file.mp3" or "file
'89 file.mp3" are both, in effect, a single argument which may or may not be
something valid for smplayer.
2. Bug in command interpreter is preventing 2>/dev/null from automatically
invoking an external shell (which is required to handle redirection) when
there's a single ' embedded in the argument. ATM you would need to explicitly
prepend > i.e.
>smplayer "file '89 file.mp3" 2>/dev/null
Does it behave more sensibly when you do this ?
