Playing multiple sound files simultaneously

Is it possible to play several sound files at the same time. When I tried I could only get one to play at a time.

I don't think two wav files can play at the same time but you can have a wav and an mp3 file play simultaneously.

I have had so many issues with this...

As jinjin said, only one wav file can play at a time. If you start a new one while another is playing, the first one is cancelled. Mp3 files tend to do weird things when played simultaneously in turing. It is best to play a combination of the two.

As insectoid says, they dont seems to work well together. According to turing help your best bet is to try using a combination with midi ( though I haven't been able to get .mp3 or .wav and .midi to work together)

the example they included in help under "music" seems to work with .wav and .mid though

I got it to work with one file as mp3 and the other as wav. Thanx for the replies.
