> Yeah, just as I posted this, I noticed in the user guide that it was the playLoudness. I used that and it did change the loudness. However, I’m still having trouble getting the players to play continuously when I drag the loudness scroller. I have 3 players going simultaneously and I’m changing the loudness on 2 of them. There seems to be some kind of timing problem because if I change the loudness too quickly, one of the players stops.

See below :-)

Just tested with LC 7.04 (never worked with the new AVFoindation player object before)
and this single line will it:
…
set the currenttime of player "myplayer“ to 0
## Or any other time in the audio/movie
…
No need to stop the player or set a selection from STARTTIME to ENDTIME.
Playback will continue!

See above.

Sorry, not sure I understand your exact problem?
