Creating a playlist~ but I cannot see the waveform

Hi! I created a playlist~ and all I see are the file names of my audio tracks. I resized the whole playlist object and I still can't find the waveforms. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thank you!

Wow, I can't believe after a whole year no one answered your question! I wonder if you were hearing sound and not seeing the waveform, or is it that you could access neither? Make sure your patch and the sound files are in the same folder on your computer, then drag in the sound files, save your patch IN THAT FOLDER and reopen it. If you keep your sound files in the same folder as your patch there should be no problem. Also, just to be clear, if you drag in a new file to playlist~ and overwrite the old one (watch out for the red lines) you also need to make sure that new file is in the folder too.

Thank you for this!

And I'm assuming you're using your own files and not the ones that come with Max. If your patch can't find the ones that come with Max, then there's another issue.
