MP3 Playback in MaxMSP - has anything changed?
Dec 05 2008 | 1:58 pm
I'm working on a little side project which requires the playback of MP3 files.
I already know that the 'import' message to buffer~ will allow playback of an MP3. I also know of the jit.qt.movie and spigot~ method but as of QT7 this also writes a file to disk like the import message which is something I'd like to avoid.
Are these still my only two options at the end of 2008? Are there any externals out there? I don't mind paying if it's reasonable.
I know Ms. Pinky can do this already. Does it use a custom external? I don't really need Ms. Pinky at the moment but if anyone here uses it I'd be interested to know how that works.
I searched maxobjects and this forum (mp3 brings up nothing).
Thanks.
