Sound Editor Problem - Is it just my version?

Hey guys, just need a lil' help.
Is it just my version, or does this happen to you?

Im currently making a cinematic type map, where all you do is watch the guys run around.. ^_^

So, I load up the sound editor, import a music file I want playing (mp3 format) and use the play music trigger and stop music trigger.

This is the whack part, when I click test map, it works fine...BUT when I quit and go back to the world editor, in the sound editor, it says file type : unknown, length 00:00:00, and when I highlight the song and press play nothing happens, and when I click test map again, the song doesnt play anymore.

Is there something im doing wrong? I tried it on a regular map, I just clicked new map, put a start location, imported the music, used a trigger to play it, tested map worked fine, but as soon as I quit and went back to the world editor, same problem with the sound.

The internal sounds work fine though, just my external ones that I import.

Help PLEASE!

I've had similar problems. I think it happens when you press the Test button to much? Anyway, to fix it; you have to re-import your song.

Hey you guys were right! Thanks!

I stopped using the test map option, instead I just save, and alt-tab back into the game and run it from there, it's also faster since you dont have to load the game each time ;)

hehehee thx a lot guys
