Can't get some music to transition?

[jtpryan]

I have a photo story 3 project I'm doing involving about 100 pictures
and 5 or six pieces of music. For some reason 2 of them never
transition from the previous piece, that is they never play. However,
if I pick the picture after the one the beginning of the music is
anchored to, the song plays. Has anybody seen this?

Are they different types of music file mp3 and wav? If so, try using all the
same. Have you tried swapping a music track over and see if that plays ok ie
2nd track with 3rd etc?

Graham,

Thank you for the reply. No, they are all the same (.mp3). I have
swapped and the same one has the same problem. I find if I "set the
clip point" it will work. One thing the "bad" ones have in common is
they all have a flat line in the center, whereas the "good" ones have a
wave form indicating levels. I just upgraded to 2.1 (latest build) and
have the same problem. I wonder if these particular files are ripped
in such a way as to not adequatly indicate the beginning.

Possibly. MP3's do not work well anyway, it's best to use wav if possible
convert them.
