MP3

Don't dare to ask. But nowhere in the search the dirty word is used. BUT... In the real world it really exists! Is there a way to play those mp3 files the way sfplay~ does with real audio?

gots to convert it to an aif/wav, my friend. quicktime pro's "export" option does the trick.

As ever, have you tried searching www.maxobjects.com?

It's no longer sufficient to assume that Cycling '74
makes every single Max/MSP/Jitter object in the world,
and this is a very good place to investigate those
other things.

If you aren't using the import message to the buffer~
object or using jit.qt.movie/spigot~ to play things,
of course.

you can load them into the buffer. The help patch for buffer~ says:

"The import message decompresses MP3 files and the audio tracks of
movie files."

I guess then you need to either play the buffer straight or write the
buffer content to disk as an uncompressed format and open it with
sfplay~ after.
