Hi Neil, If you are doing live a recording you will need to use something like this
stream = mksafe(audio_to_stereo(playlist("./playlist.pls"))) where "stream" is a variable and playlist.pls is a text file with the location of the file you want played. I will keep an eye out just in case someone comes up with something better as it does mean turning off live recording and switching over to this. audio_to_stereo ensures any compatible mp3 file will play regardless of whether it is stereo or not. my solution and still a novice but thought this might help.
