I have five songs and I want to control them with buttons on my iPad. So when I press one button and send a bang I want a specific song to play and when I press another I want that to stop playing and the other start. I can't make it work.

What application are you using on your iPad? What objects are you using to play the songs?

I use the c74 app, I just have 5 buttons, when I press one a picture and some text appear and I want audio too. I tried just to start the audio with a bang to a message that have the songname to sfplay. But when I press another button both are playing.

we need to see the patch to help you properly, I think.

Select everything in the patch (cmd+a) and select "copy compressed", then paste it here.

if there's just one sfplay~ it should only be playing the latest song. if you have multiple sfplay~ objects (not needed if you only want one song at a time) then you need to stop the previous one with a "0" before playing the next one. Easiest way is to send a 0 to all 5 whenever any song is triggered, stopping any that are playing, then send the 1 to the right one to start it. But better would be to just use one sfplay~.

Choose song and the other stops?
