I've been doing Ardunio stuff for a couple of years now but still feel like I know less than everyone else. So please excuse how little I know because for all intents and purposes I'm a noob.
I purchased a teensy 3.2 with audio shield along with the tutorial breadboard setup about a month ago. Everything works fine when I do the tutorial but when I try to substitute the songs on the SD card with something that I have downloaded, I get nothing. I want to use sound clips that are downloaded from freesound to Audacity as it shows from this website

and then download them onto the SD card and have the teensy play them. Except when I follow those instructions, the sounds won't play. Most of the times when I try, the serial monitor shows the sound clips playing just as fast as they will print. The sound clips are longer than that.
Trying to find answers, I have read many forum suggestions that apparently have solved everyone with a similar problem. I have shortened my file names to 8.3 format and have even used the same names as the test songs, just replaced with my downloaded sounds instead. Same thing happens. I know it's not my SD card (the kind recommended in the tutorial) because when I download the songs from the PJRC tutorial webpage, they play just as the SD card that was supplied with the other tutorial parts.
Another thing I have done was to download the tutorial songs to Audacity, do the changes that the Adafruit website said to do and then put them onto the SD card. Then they don't play. So something that is happening in Audacity (or something that I am missing) is screwing things up.
So I guess my question is, how can I download some sound clips (that aren't tutorial songs - don't get me wrong, they're nice) so that they will play thru my teensy.
Remember, noob here.
