Hi Brian,
I tried to run your code on my WindowsXP box with Shoes-0.r1057.
I put the mp3 files under the same directory with the code file.
You put them under '/' (root) directory?
So, my code is the following. It works well.
Shoes.app do
video "test1.mp3", :autoplay => true
v = video "test2.mp3"
timer(5){v.play}
end
1st:
You need to add :autoplay => true option.
See Shoes manual.

2nd:
With my Windows pc, the two mp3 musics are played overlapping...
Hope it helps,
ashbb
