Hi,
On iPad it looks like playing back imported mp3 is crashing the app

Edit: it looks like the app crashes if I change the name of the file externally, but when I leave it it doesn’t crash, but it doesn’t play either.

Thank you for the report. Something must have changed somewhere. I'll fix this for the next patch!

EDIT: As a workaround, try setting the name of your music file to have no space or any special characters. Then restart the app to allow it to create the new database. Certain characters are being changed in iOS perhaps.

What you suggested worked, but when I tried it with a second .mp3, it caused the app to crash again, and the first .mp3 would crash now too. So I deleted both files and started again and now the first mp3 crashes the app.

Would it be possible to get a link to the source of the mp3 file? That way I can try to find out what's causing the issue. It would also really help if you could send me a screenshot of the directory path for the music files. If this isn't too much trouble for you.

here’s the link for the first file http://zapsplat.net/zapsplat-sounds/download.php?fileName=pm_rd_rain_23_city_modarate_drippy_362.mp3&expiry=1581591517

because I’m using an iPad the file browser doesn’t let me show a file tree, but I have put the files in epicGM>sounds>AMB

Apologies, I've been experience net problems and I did not see this and the link has expired.

In the meantime, I've made some changes to the iOS code for reading files though, and I think it should be do better reading custom sound files. :)

is this being added to the next update?

Yes, this is already in the next update. The update is mostly there, but still working on finding and quashing bugs.
