Hi folks, maybe there is allready a post on this idea but i couldn´t find it.

Als QC is able to play mp3 files as well as wav, is it possible to upload a song intro as audiofile onto the QC and lauch it by pressing a scene button?

No, QC does not have that ability. But some users want it.

The request below suggests mp3 playback using the QC’s looper. Vote here if you’re interested:

> [@Mp3 Recorder/Player + store Loops](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/mp3-recorder-player-store-loops/9727):

> Considering we got over 20GB free… why we don’t put them to use to record ideas, record sample to remember what a preset was created for, play backing tracks, just to say a few. with standard mp3 we got days of records. I would love a rec/play block or the looper to remember the loop when preset is saved to have it immediately playable (also to remeber what I created with the preset, can also be a vocal note).

Great thanks for the info, i voted because this should be no big deal at all.  
If you can run a small band on a single QC allone and you can jam along with an onboard looper, why should it be a problem to playback a simple mp3 file as backingtrack or only a 15 sec song intro.

I play hard rock and heavy metal, I love intros, synths in a bridge and so on … but you are not an octopus on stage to launch and controll all parts on external gear at the right time while you stand headbanging with one foot on the stage monitor trying to evade a 120kg crowd surfing guy 😉

so, yes i would LOVE that feature

Hey, I found another request for audio file playback, which has more votes:

> [@Playback of audio files](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/playback-of-audio-files/8311):
>
> Dear QC community, I want to propose a feature request to play audio files by pressing one of the footswitches. Bear in mind that this is my first feature request here, so if I have format my request in a certain way, then please let me know. I think there are two ways this could be implemented. Implementation 1: One adds a “playback” block somewhere in the signal chain. The settings for this playback block would be: (1) select a file [from a Cortex Cloud directory] and (2) a volume control…
