Looping Music - Problem!!

[ventureforth webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have edited a piece of music that I know will loop properly, however when I try to use it in my movie looped, there is a slight pause at the end (or the beginning of the next loop) that causes the loop to sound off. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Were you using MP3s? This is a known problem with MP3 files. Almost every MP3 out there has a little bit of dead-space at the
beginning, which can be a real pain sometimes. Not that this applies so much to Director, but it's especially bad if you're into
classical music, where one movement will often proceed directly to the next without a pause as seen between tracks in most popular
stuff. (Some recent artists have been known to do this too, Pink Floyd being the most noteable I can think of, but generally it's
not that common.)
