Added audio and it works when testing within editor. Just a sound clip playing when I click a button.

When I export to desktop (NW.js) and play the resulting executables - 32bit exe and 64bit exe there is no sound that plays. I'm using the latest Chromium 0.28.0 for export.

I used an MP3... Should that cause any issues?

I'm not sure when exactly Chromium is enabling MP3 support. If you've only tested MP3, I'd guess it's just they haven't enabled it yet. It should be enabled soon though, I've seen work happening on it.

Looks like it is working with wav files but not mp3...

I would use wav but the file size is so big. Any recommendations for larger (for example, music) files?

Importing a wav to C3 will automatically encode it to WebM Opus, which is our recommended format.

If you still need to use MP3s, it should be supported in the next version of NW.js which should be out this week. I'd still recommend using WebM Opus wherever possible - it's modern, open, excellent quality and very high compression. MP3 is old and poor quality by comparison.
