Unable to play certain MP3

I have some songs (MP3 format) that I can access without any problem from my
profile (Administrator) but when I log in with another profile (Limited
Account) I get the following message:

Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be
in use, you might not have access to the computer where the
file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct.

I have already check if the MP3 is protected with restricted license but
there's not license what so ever, can anybody help out on why I'm unable to
play the mp3 from other profile other than my own, this only happens with a
couple of MP3 Files I try to reproduce, not all the files.

I have:
Windows XP (SP2)
Media Player v10.0
NTFS

It sounds like an NT permissions problem. If you downloaded the file
*as an administrator* (not a good thing to be doing from a security
standpoint) then it will have your permissions on it - nobody else can
access it, including WMP running under the profile of an unprivileged
user.

I'd try to "take ownership" of the file(s) as admin, then assign their
permissions to the Users group instead :
