It works perfectly for me in 6 but won't work in 5.
Same results on different machines.
Same audio file. Same coll data.
The play~ help file works so it isn't the DSP status.
I wanted to share this with my students but we are running 5 in class and it won't work for them either.
I can't see it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

In Max, select New From Clipboard.The "start" stuff is new in 6, I think. This works in 5: - Emmanuel JourdanNov 19 2011 | 10:08 amChris is correct, the start message of play~ object has been introduced in Max 6.
- Lance Ford JonesNov 19 2011 | 4:48 pmThank you! That makes sense.I posted an observation a few days ago inthat when you "Copy Compressed" in Max 6 the start and end lines still say "Max 5" and when you post this in the forum the marker still says "Pasted Max 5 Patch".If this could be corrected in a future update it would help a lot.Thanks again.
- Lance Ford JonesNov 19 2011 | 8:28 pmTwo things:1) Why didn't I get a message in the max window that play~ didn't understand the "start" message?2) On further testing I had problems with the playback on the max 5 version posted above.Max Patcher
In Max, select New From Clipboard.Here is a max 5 compatible patch that more closely emulates the original max 6 patch.Thanks again for your help. - Chris MuirNov 19 2011 | 10:41 pmI don't know why play~ didn't complain. I agree that it probably should have.I guess I'm not surprised that there were problems with the patch I posted. I threw it together very quickly. Sorry.
