I am making a media player and when its playing songs, the user may want to add more songs to the playlist. Anyway, when I requestfile(), and the first song is over, it will not shift to the next song until I close the requester. Any ideas around this?

Afaik: that requester has its own loop of events, e.g. its own:
Repeat
Waitevent()
Forever

-loop. But then built-in. So, nothing you can do, except making your own file requester that works by using the mainloop of events so that the rest of the app continues as it did.

Okay. That explains a lot. I just gotta figure out how the heck I can do it. Shouldn't be too big of a problem. Another thing: Sliders. When I use the sliders, the same things happens. Nothing will go until I release the mouse...

Do you mean that the music will stop in the middle of the song when you move the slider, or it won't loop again until you release the mouse?
