Got it, see your point. Guess I just don't have to deal with those
situations all that often.

But I still like the old method. ;-)

So how does this new method work exactly? If wanted to update an audio
file to a new version, the only way I could do so would be to give it
the exact same file name then? That's too bad, as I like to give many
of my .wav file version numbers. Like "Big Crash_Mix 1". Then if I
change it, it might be Big Crash_Mix 2 or even Big Crash_Mix1-1, if it's
only a minor change rather than a major change.

So this new system sounds like I would have to replace the audio
selections, and then also update my cues?
