I have taken an Iphone voice note & converted it into a mp3. I have then taken that mp3. & edited it in audacity. After exporting it i try to open it in Serato (2.4.3) however it will not open properly or play.

I have a gig tomorrow & i can't even play any of my drops. Please let me know what i can do.

Why not record your Drops with the Mic Input on the SL1?

Anyway, you probably just need to re render the file as an MP3 with iTunes or another program.

Do any other programs besides Audacity play the files?

Well Windows Media Player plays the file. The file was originally recorded on a iphone because it was done on the spot by Mr. Vegas. So i'm not sure why when i edited it & exported it as an mp3. then opened it in serato that it isn't playing.

What format is the File currently in? Are you sure its MP3 and not WMA? Try re rendering the file as MP3 or another format then try again.
