Looping MP3 files

SRGUY · August 2019

Hello Folks. Pretty new to OpenLP but starting to realize its value to my church. I found some MP3 files to play as background music as folks enter the Sanctuary before Service starts. They play fine but I have to start each one independently - I have them loaded in the Media Library. Is there anyway to group them or set them up to where they loop till commanded otherwise?

Thanks for whatever help you can render.

You can add MP3 files to play with a song. So that is how you could group them and play them sequentially.

If you get creative, there is a way to display a group of announcements as your "song" and use your MP3 files for the audio while the "song" plays through using the timer to change the "Verses" that have your announcements.

Thanks for your responses. My creativeness is limited to my experience with the program which ain't a lot at the moment but the more I mess with it the more discoveries I make.

In OpenLP 2.4 on Windows 10, I have a single .mp3 file linked to a song with Start background audio paused disabled and Repeat track list enabled but after starting instantly as expected, the file only plays once. Shouldn't it loop? The file is a 3 second long click track for the worship band.

@KennyB It *should* loop. If it's not, then there's a bug.
