Sounds are not being added to the program.

Hello. This is the first ever problem I've encountered on Scratch.
I'm trying to add a 5 Min sound file (MP3) to my Scratch project. I can find it alright in the browser, it's just the bit about adding it.
As soon as I click Ok on the sound file, Scratch skips the conversion process, and fails epicly. It give a a sound file that lasts for 00:00:00 and Is 0kb. The name is the same as the original sound file.
The file ends instantly as soon as I play it.

This is happening to an whole entire Album. The songs in it don't work on Scratch, but all my other Albums work.

I've played the Album In WMP, and it plays fine, so it's not corrupt.

Can Anyone Help?

Wrong type of MP3 encoding? Try converting it to WAV using Audacity

^This. Where were you trying to import the songs from? And what song was it?

Re: Sounds are not being added to the program.

media.io is a good service for converting audio files, maybe you could try converting your songs to WAV files and then importing them to Scratch.
