Thanks Dave,
I'll find an alternative solution.

If you're having trouble finding a workable solution, let me know. I might have a couple of ideas. (It would be great if you could attach the full script and files -- mp3s and images -- in that case; you can do so by zipping them up and then uploading the ZIP archive via +Insert -> Add File).

Thanks a lot, I really can't figure it out. I'm attaching the .zip archive. If you ever need anything else let me know. 
Matteo

The attached approach is the best / closest thing I can come up with.

Hi all!
I'm struggling to create a study in which subjects are asked to rate a series of faces on a Likert scale while in the background is played a sequence of random sounds. Specifically, I don't understand how to create a pool from which randomly picking out one sound per time until the end of the block. I don't want to set any limit to the sampling of sounds, just to be sure that the subject listens continuously to a random series until he rates all the faces of the list.
Has anyone ever tried to create something like this?

Here's my code:

This can't be done with /bgstim, /bgstim will pick and play one sound item during a given block, it can't be used to play a series of items during the block.
