Calling loop() with a full filepath: Buffer UGen: no buffer data in SC

Hi all! I’m trying to playback the infamous “Dangerous Woman” acapella Four Tet played on his last Boiler Room set (lol). Having some difficulty with this code:

grande = "C:/Users/azhad/Downloads/Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman (A Cappella).mp3"\
gr >> loop (grande, dur = 8)

I’m getting a “Buffer UGen: no buffer data” error often accompanied by “late 0.456081390” where the number is some random(ish) float. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a quick fix? Thanks!

Solved! Easy fix - I tried using an mp3! loop accepts lossless audio. Also had the most success adding my Grande file to the _loop_ folder per the documentation on loop().
