Edit Page: Mp3 cannot be dragged to the timeline

PostWed Jul 28, 2021 6:59 am

Hello,
I have problems to drag Mp3s to my timeline.
It does not work since 2 days.
Not even if you select "Append" via the right mouse button.
I have tested it with different versch, mp3 from different drives.
Attached is a screenshot when trying to place the mp3 with the mouse directly in the timeline.
Please pay attention to the small sign next to the mouse pointer.

What is the reason for that ?
Version.17.2.2 Build 4
Greetings Daniel from Hannover /Germany

Since it's only one file, what are the specifications for it? (eg what does mediainfo show?)

Hello and thanks for the quick reply.
I hope the screenshot contains all the info you need.
In Windows media player the file runs without problems.
it doesn't matter which mp3 I take the problem exists with all of them
Greetings Daniel

And just to confirm it's not something strange, does this mp3 file work? https://www.chosic.com/download-audio/27307/?tag=all

With a new timeline it works, so the current timeline must be locked somehow (unintentionally)
