Hello Thunkers! 👋🏻

I have an app that automatically starts streaming audio tracks from a Thunkable database in a shuffled format as soon as it arrives on the MEDIA page. This works beautifully! (And I have a lot of you amazing fellow Thunkers to thank for this!! 🤩 )

What I want it to do, is **STOP** playing whenever the user moves to another screen.

These are the blocks I’ve used to achieve this, when the user navigates away, on other screens:

_Unfortunately_, I seem to run into an error at times (not every time, but often enough)… normally when I arrive on MEDIA and try to navigate away “too quickly”… the audio files will keep playing on the next screen I go to, _unless_ I navigate to yet another screen.

Sometimes it happens even after listening to these tracks for a while on MEDIA and navigate away.

It’s an obvious error that really needs sorting out! 😅

This is a link to the project if you have a moment to see what I may be doing wrong!

A huge thank you to anyone who can help me figure this one out!!

Anyone have an idea what might be happening here?

I really want the user navigating away from the **Media** screen to stop all of the audio.

Not sure why it happens sometimes and not other times.

Many thanks!
