Is there a que? As it'll auto play the que first and throw the songs you've selected onto bottom of the que.

This happened to me when I imported some songs with a media type which was not compatible with SAM you might need to convert some of your music as thats what I had to do...

This happens to me.. If they are off a CD in a CD format then you will need to convert them to a Mp3 formt for them to be able to work.. However if they are already MP3 then your problem may be that you may have moved your music directory meaning that it will play the next song that it can find that has the right directory.

Hope that helped ;)

I +Rep asap, BTW how do you convert?

[Dan2nd]

you can convert music by either using Itunes or a website such as this :

There is another possible reason:

When you import a song into SAM, it creates a shortcut to the song file, so if you try to play it in SAM and you have changed the location to the music file, then SAM will just choose another song.

Therefore I recommend if theres still a problem after converting them, delete all the playlist and re-import.

JUst a suggestion :)

Hmm thanks guys!

What do you use in Itunes to convert music?

ATM if i dj i have to use winamp, sicne using sam risks playing a song that starts off:
