I am a infrequent user of premier elements 13.  I have an audio only file - .prel. I opened it to edit it.  But when I hit the play/pause toggle nothing happens.

    Covert it to a wav file before importing into Premiere Elements.  MP3 file can sometimes be problematic.

    A .prel is not a media file. It is a Premiere Elements project file.

    Your mp3 is a media file inside the project file.

    What is the format and source of the audio clip in your project?

    Well the original source was an MP3 but I had already saved it as .prel.  I wanted to make a couple a few more changes.  I opened the project and had the problem mention in my original post.
