      I've had this problem too and it's extremely annoying. I found that the problem was in the file header. I asked Nestlekwik to send me a sample file of a song that works, and this was the file thingy for it.

      #FILEJENCO~1.MP3;

      Well I messed around with the file name in mine and finally got it to work somehow. I'm not sure what I did so no point in posting, just mess around with the file name thing until it works.

          hmmm... well depending on what you using (SM or DWI) if its DWI (which im pretty sure it is based on the layout you where using) if i remember correctly (which i doubt) you have to specify the complete location of the mp3.... ex...
          c:/DWI/Songs/myne own/zelda/zelda.mp3

          i'll probably be corrected so dont go changing anything yet...

          ps. ive only made one dwi... and it was 3 months ago... so my memory is kinda blurry....

            Delete the #FILE entry altogether. I think you're only supposed to use it when specifing a song that isn't in the immediate song folder.

            P.S. When you do use the #FILE entry, it should me in MS-DOS format. (all caps, no spaces, no special characters, up to 8 characters). That should be
            #FILE:MAGUS~1.MP3;
            but that probably won't work either for the reason above.

              Just right click the song > properties > copy address(make sure you dont get any spaces) and insert that into the file thing.

              That should be the only problem, its happened to me a few times.
              I wouldn't leave out the #FILE tag altogether unless the entire address solution doesnt work. Or you could always try moving the song into a different folder, like maybe your Local DWI folder > Mp3s. Then you can copy the address into the #FILE.

                I had this problem, too. Then I changed a few things in my .dwi file and it worked. Mainly, I renamed the MP3 file so that it was all caps and less than 8 characters ("HIP.MP3"). Then, (which is what I think was the real problem) I noticed that Notepad automatically added returns (or "enters") at the end of every line, so I took off word wrap (Format >> Word Wrap) then got rid of the returns by simply deleting them. My file works now.

                  All I did wrong was I left it in the .zip.

                  Heh, oops.
