This is with Max 5, by the way... any help would be very much appreciated!!

See attached, It might be of some help. Best

Hey Helhuth,

I appreciate your help but this is not the issue... of course, when you cut and paste objects from a more complex patch to illustrate a problem here, things like this are overlooked. My real question is: is there a way of making seek position work with sfplay~ when running from a play list..

I know people must hate when there is a 'me too' message instead of a response, but I'm having the same problem. Is this due to the fact that a preloaded file into sflist is then not seen as 'currently playing' by sfplay?
