Why does my playhead miss a track?

Usually it means the MP3 file cannot be found, is corrupted or the XML playlist has errors. Check that the URL for your music file works, and that the format is correct, then check your XML file for errors. This is best done by opening it in your web browser – Firefox for example has a very nice error-reporting utility and will tell you where the problem is. Remember that the file is XML – and that is very strict about things like using the & symbol (you have to use ‘&’ instead). All our commercial playheads have a unique feature to see realtime debugging information even without a copy of the Flash IDE – a system called In-Page Reporting. See your documentation for how to use this feature.
