Hi, Thunkers, I hope you all are doing well!
I have programmed many buttons to play a different sound when clicked. I have added mp3 sounds and the sounds work perfectly in Thunkable live on my computer but only occasionally work on my android device in the testing app.
In total I have added almost 50 different sounds, 40 of them with a duration of more than 10 seconds and the others with a duration of less than 5 seconds. Have I caused an overload? Or is it a bug?
Thanks in advance.
Rodrigo.

Try removing the space (" ") from the filename. Spaces often cause problems with media playback in Thunkable.

Wow! I would never have imagined anything like that. Let me try it right now. Thank you very much!

I believe it was recently added to the documentation:
> **[Assets](https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/assets#uploading-and-managing-assets)**
>
> Upload and manage your files from the Assets pane

Thanks for the infromation and your time. I have changed the name for every audio file but the problem persists. Should I have to reupload them or something?

Is it possible for you to post download links for one sound that is working and one that is not?
Or to provide a project link for a simple project that demonstrates a working & non-working sound?

I’m sorry it took me so long to respond, but I’ve fixed it.
I want my students to be able to listen to some definitions without having to get bored reading. If you click some buttons there may be a few seconds delay because I recorded myself and for some recordings I took a breath and started talking afterwards.
As you told me, I should have renamed the files but it was necessary to rename the file on my computer and re-upload it (not just rename the file in the app). Take a look!: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/aa2f5fb240ffb9ed00675eb9aeef635c)
Thank you very much again!
