Thank you avc. The problem was that the playback rate in the project item settings somehow was changed from 1.0 to 1.016667. When I change the newly imported track to that same setting it lines up and plays perfectly. How it got that way is beyond me. Like you I always match the bpm and this is the first time anything like this has happened. Thank God I found the answer! The master playback rate slider is set to 1.0 so go figure.

Thanks again,

Josie
