a way to access iTunes with an MSP external...

works badly with mp3s or apple's codec...

it cuts the songs even if you have assigned more than enough space

to the buffer and replace won't work with such formats...

b) why there is not there a way to use waveform~ inspector with sfplay~? why just buffers and not direct to disk reading?

I wonder if there is (but I bet no)
a way to access iTunes with an MSP external...

a) import command on buffer~ 
works badly with mp3s or apple's codec...
it cuts the songs even if you have assigned more than enough space
to the buffer and replace won't work with such formats...
(and I have enough RAM)

If on Windows, Jack is a little bit less polished, but it should still work:

here it works with mp3, try only one channel.

Thanks Dan, but if I'm not wrong, jack looks like an audio router.

I'm looking for something that let me access the iTunes library of my computer and select tracks from max...

routing the audio out of iTunes won't fit my needs...

the sfplay~ + waveform~ question is answered!

Thanks much Falk, 
the sfplay~ + waveform~ question is answered!


FWIW though, I'm pretty sure the iTunes library file is XML based, so 

you could probably dig into that and figure out how to parse it... 

You'd be able to get the relevant info, including full file patch, 

from there. Then just use that path to load the file into Max...

Maybe you could have a look at oscbonjour, external doing Bonjour/ZeroConf

This Remy Muller external is very useful; for instance it avoids sending a

ping to 255.255.255.255 to get all the machine IPs.
