i am using max 7 and when i try drag and drop samples onto a dropfile for playback with a buffer, i get the error message "cannot open parser for this file".

ive tried WAV,MP3,FLAC,AIFF, some files work some dont even if they are the same bit rate and sample rate.

does anyone else have this issue and if they fixed it how?

I am having the same problem and seeking solutions.

Did you try adding a file extension to the filename?

I would use a read message and try to select a file. It didn't work.

Any luck with a solution to this problem? I'm having it too

Information on version numbers (what version of Max? 32-bit? 64-bit?) or platform? You know - the usual stuff. Example patch?

Same in Max 8, on win (Max 8.1). The same patch in OSX works fine. Trying to open wav 64 file.

Good luck, Max 7 lives with this. (reported in 2015)

I think cycing74 lives with the updates fees. Now version 8.0.2 is out. On osx this issue was fixed osx side (just fine in 8.0.1), but not win side (both versions). Now I’ll will report that in the bugs section, because they don’t read this forum thread.
