That code sample at the end is loading a <em>new</em> song into the same <code>Sound</code> instance. In this case, I was using a single <code>Sound</code> instance to load dozens of audio files, and the problem was that the <code>Sound.position</code> property failed to start at zero with each new file. Maybe the <code>Sound</code> class is designed that way, but it's not what I was expecting. So the <code>start()</code> call provides that "reset" and the immediate <code>loadSound()</code> call loads the next song so quickly, there isn't enough time to hear anything from the previous file. Which solved my problem. :) Chris,

I had this same problem and just realized that you need to offer a scrubber for each song so they can go to 0 or 100% of the song, or go to another song...shrug, maybe i am misunderstood what you are saying.
