I tried both of these, and as you said I see no difference in the duration, but even when I call it twice it only sounds once. I'm calling this in a function and if I call it twice[as above] I get an error when it runs. If I call it once it plays once.
Wait, let me go pound my head on the wall..I've been at this to long.
thanks for the advice though.
