Hi all.
I have a folder full of 3sec audio tracks.
I need to (auto)make one track with a random order of these tracks.
Is there a solution via scripting to do this ?

Thx,
Ad.

In general, scripting is not what you need. editing audio files is not max’s forte. MXJ might be able to do the job but you’re better off loading all three files and using [mxj buf.Op]

I want to make one audio file of one hour, which contains 3 sec files I have in my folder, and the order must be chose by random.
I know max is not the best to do that, but maybe something like ffmpeg for audio for instance, I don’t know…
That’s why I talk about script and not max.

Hope this is clear.

I’m going to check the buf.Op, my files won’t be always 3sec long.
Thx.

Nope because I have to make some loop with the new track, would have been too simple.

Here’s my final patch: it does take by random every entire files of one folder to make one audio track stored in one buffer:
Thx to Ben, who does almost the whole patch !
