Quick question. I can link a object to an mp3 or playlist(m3u), but once I've clicked and launched it and I go to do another one it locks up source media arcade. Any idea what could cause this? I then force Source Media to close and when I go to launch it again it takes a long time then eventually launches and then launches the mp3/playlist it locked up on.

It sounds like it has something to do with your music player program.

Does your music program normally take a long time to open?

If the mp3's are located on a 2ndary hard drive, or over a network, it could delay how long the music player program takes to open as well.

Source Media Arcade freezes until the program has finished opening, so if your music player program takes a long time to load an mp3, Windows might think that SM Arcade has crashed.  If this is causing the problem, simple solutions would be to just be patient and let your music program finish loading, or use a music program that opens quickly (like Media Player Classic) to launch your music from SM Arcade.
