I found that in preferences, projects, media items, unchecking the three boxes that have to do with loop source, stopped items from being set to loop on automatically. Not sure if there are any unwanted side effects to this, but it turned off that annoying little thing that caused me so much hassle when trying to work out why imported audio wasn't copying and pasting.<BR> <BR>
