Hmmm... I just tested it here on two slideshows and two browsers locally and over a web server, and it seems to work.  Perhaps your mp3 is not compatible with Flash.  Did you create the mp3 yourself?  If you'd like, you can e-mail me the mp3 to slideops at slideroll.com and I'll give it a whirl.

Some MP3s, like ones encoded with variable bit rates are not compatible with Flash.

Also, what is your browser type, and operating system?

Best,
Geoff

Hmm... if you got it off of iTunes, then it is most likely an AAC file.  In that case, I think it is protected by Digital Rights Management, and you cannot convert it to MP3.  Simply changing the filename won't change it, either. It needs to be reencoded.  I'll check with the audio experts at my workplace and see if what I'm saying is true.
