Song doesn't play

One of my beats won't play once loaded. All the samples seem to be in the folder, however in program some samples have ? Next to their names. Is this common? Any ideas on where I should start to get back my beat (it's the one I'm hoping to get on the games OST here)?

Still running original OS! Will all my old beats load if I upgrade to new OS?

Of the program page with '?' Posted next to sample names? Sure. Which webpage do most people here use to post pics?

The question mark tells you the sample is missing (not loaded) I would check in LOAD mode to see if your samples were saved when you saved your song. They might have been saved, but just didnt go the pad you assigned them too.

I sometimes had that with some older beats I re-opened after a while. It's some kind of a bug I think. Everytime that happened to me the samples were loaded in RAM, but the program couldn't detect them. Just reassign the samples to the pads, save it and done.

You can choose a pic from your computer, it then gives you an IMG url to post up in forums. Free, no account needed.

Ah yes! I remember tinypic. Very handy, thanks.

The samples are missing from its folder. It was definitely saved as I've loaded and played it many times without problems.
I think something might have happened when I defraged the memory card on my pc.

Thanks for the assistance

File management and data corruption when using the Akai O.S. were 2 of the major problems JJ fixed with his free and paid versions.
