The play in preview (within xCode), but won't play in the simulator. Any ideas? Are there any best practices for using audio?

I think the method is initSoundEffets() This runs when the app first loads so all the sound-effect files are prepared and ready to play before anything else loads. It does take a moment to load this way but makes for better performance. Nothing lamer than a delayed sound effect. So...add your own sound files to BT_audio folder, then add them to this list so they initialize when the app launches. Cool.
