Try renaming the file to something with no spaces such as regretmaintheme2.mp3 - See if that works.

Macrod - You dont need to post the same thread 3x's. We are more than happy to help. But multiple posts throws the oldest off that may not have been answered yet. Just an FYI

I'm building on IOS5. Using buzztouch 2.0 I shortened the name to just regret.mp3, but got the same error.

Try a different mp3, do as it says above and drag into audio folder in Xcode. Do a clean and build.

I hadn't dragged it to Xcopy cause I wasn't able to add it to the app yet. I tried dragging it into the Xcopy and then uploading, no luck. Also tried a different mp3, the same error. What I'm trying is to add a file to a sound effect for a tab on a tab layout.

I'm having the same problem as MadRod. I also tried to add the mp3 to the BT_sound folder before uploading the file in the control panel, but I still get the same error as MadRod... I'm also using BT v2.0

No specific screen, what are you thinking about? I was hoping to make the music play at all time while navigating through the app...

Menu's don't allow you to put music on it. What you need to do, is on your app's homepage, if its not a menu, you'll have the option to add backround audio, just type in the tracks song, blablabla.mp3, select to keep the track playing, even when changing page. Then just copy the blablabla.mp3 file to your sound folder in the Xcode and in finder, where your apps folders are. Hope this helps.
