iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.1)
Luis,
Sorry that I sent you misinformation.
I got totally confused in my rush to get my project finished.
What you see is where I finished. The problems started here..
I hope this information is what you and Tom were looking for.
I did not do the update to the audio files that Apple recommended.
That may or may not be the problem. To finish my project, I must finish the installing of Music...
Cam...

Do you see a waveform in the timeline?
Tell us more about the file. What type of audio is this (wav,m4a,mp3,....?)
Does it play correctly in the Finder?
I Luis,
Glad to hear from you again.
# 1. yes it is now sitting on top left of the display. It was originally on the far right.
m4a Songs of Portugal.
yes.
I feel something is going wrong with my system.
Everytime I sign in, something seems to go wrong.
Top left of the display? In the iTunes browser? Where in the far right? Please post screenshots of what you're seeing. Did you purchase this from the iTunes Music Store? It might have DRM protection.
Do you see the waveform *in the browser*? Do you see the waveform *in the timeline*?
Does it play *in the browser*?
What do you see when you drag it to the *timeline*? As Tom requested, post screenshots.

Role names cannot include a dot.
What????
1) Why on earth would you want to name an audio role like that? What are you trying to achieve with an audio role named after a long url?
Roles should have meaningful names (like "Music", "Dialog" and "Effects").
I would not even think of creating any new audio roles myself, but rather making subroles where appropriate.
2) What has that got to do with the original problem (for which, judging from your last screenshot, I already gave you the right solution)?
It looks like you may have accidentally got the Music role deactivated.
Press command-shift-2 to open the Timeline Index.
Click on "Roles". If the checkbox for "Music" is unchecked, check it.
