9 minute music!?!?!?
I recently downloaded the song Caramelldansen on my computer. I checked the file and it said that it was about 3:30 long and was 256mhz. When I was importing it into Scratch, this happend:
O_O Look at the file size and length.
The real file is 4.32MB. Scratch added a bunch of garbage to the file!

Try this:
Open it in something like Audacity.

Yes, and I get the same thing.
It plays correctly on my MP3 player, so it must be either Squeak or Scratch.

My guess is that it's Scratch; that's really wierd, though. Have you done anything that might have corrupted the file in any way? Have you tried playing it all the way through?

I haven't messed with the file. I haven't played it in Scratch yet, could you try?

I imported it and it ended up the same - 9 minutes and way larger than it should have been. The site you got it from seems a little iffy - maybe that's why it's messed up. After the song ends the way it should, all I get is silence - which doesn't explain the bloated size.

Oh. My MP3 player and my PC play it fine, so it must be Scratch or Squeak.

Solution: convert to wav. I had the same thing and it worked.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

When you play a wav in Scratch it comes out like scratchy garbage

Yeah, it does. Try Audacity(see above posts).
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

It must be the site you downloaded Carmelldansen from. Try downloading it from a diffrent site. My non-iffy music site reccomendation is iTunes.
Lucario and Riolu ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it was already concluded that the problem was in Scratch's MP3 decoder.

I think that stranger knows what he's doing too (probably)
And wav files do turn into garbage. I know from personal experience
