    Hello,
    Does anyone have any idea why Flash tells me that "one or more files were not imported because there were troubles reading them" every time i try to import an mp3 that i have no problem playing using Quicktime?

    All suggestions appreciated!

    never heart of it. but I had troubles once importing some .wav file.
    try to export the file into another format through quicktime like .aiff or something and then try to import it again.

    I had it happen. From what I could make of the problem was that the mp3 file was not coded right or something. I used Goldwave with the mp3 plugin called "lame" and opened the mp3. Then I converted it to another mp3 and made a new file. It also allowed me to cut the mp3 down and make the file smaller. Then I imported the new file and it worked fine. If you want to try Goldwave the free sharware version is at http://www.goldwave.com along with the "lame" mp3 plug in.

    note: Im not saying the plugin is lame. Its really the name of it.

    working MP3 import settings

    Using Flash 9 (CS3)

    It frustrated me, too!

    Using Amadeus II sound editor on a Mac.

    My last working settings were with LAME version 3.96 compression:
    112 kbps; Best; Tags option OFF; Variable Bit Rate option OFF

    These settings worked.

    I do believe that turning off the variable bit rate encoding option or tags option did the trick. Hope this give you a lead for your own set up.
