Hi Alex, I had a similar problem a while back and whsprague's suggestion of a re-install worked for me. Unfortunately, when I did the re-install, I had to clear all of my previous preferences for it to work correctly—normally on re-install and even updates, I keep all of my previous preferences. Once it's re-installed, I can then replace my preferences, and everything seems to work ok. Also, I tend to use the Music layer for my music: Also, as whsprague noted, when you use one of the music elements, it downloads from the Internet; so a strong connection is important. When you first use a music elements, you will see the Online Content Download box: On another note, when you use music from another source (e.g., mp3 file), you can place it in the Assets Window, but with the provided tunes that comes with PRE, you cannot. I know you didn't ask about this last tip, but you may need it someday...who knows? Bill
