My experiment is very similar to the one described here: http://community.cedrus.com/showthread.php?t=1264. I have music, a cue screen, and then 30 picture files. I put the pictures in a separate trial so I could randomize them. The only option is to have the audio end with the trial, not the block. I inserted the blank file given above as another block, but it did not stop the music. Any ideas?

I suggest having your cue screen in a separate trial before the music and picture trial. By splitting them, the cue and music won't start simultaneously, however it will allow you to randomize the picture files.

• Under the audio event, the setting will be "Stop audio: when the trial ends"

Randomization will be done under the Trial Editor.

• Under the Trial Editor, go to the Randomize tab

• Select Randomize the events in this trial

• At the bottom of the screen under, "Randomize All the Events in This Trial," check Except the first one

This is done so the audio event does not get randomized.
