# Audio file

When you open the new song wizard you should see a popup in which you can choose the audio file. 

Although this step is optional, it is recommended to do it right away. Otherwise you will have to load some audio manually in the [audio manager](https://karedi.gitbook.io/karedi/user-interface/upper-components/audio-manager) to be able to use playback to position notes correctly.
