Music Import Error

When I try to import certain MP3 sounds, it comes up with a VM error box and closes scratch. Help!

Edit: I worked out that it's this MP3 sound I got from freesound.org, but I tried audacity, then exported it (keeping it as an mp3 file) and it worked fine in scratch- even though audacity never changed anything!

Re: Music Import Error

Convert it to a WAV using Audacity, which is free.

WHAT! it doesn't read WAV, so I had to convert it to mp3 for it to be read. I did that for all the sounds, and now apparently I have to convert to WAV? great  sad

It reads my WAVs, AND my mp3s.

Might be a problem with the file itself.

Re: Music Import Error

It could be the type of compression. What was the error?

We've already discussed and confirmed this.

Re: Music Import Error

This thing happened to me too, but it came up with no Squeak Error.

Can you provide the Song Name/Link to?
