Sure, it is possible, both of the things you are asking. The current position comes as a signal from the third outlet; it appears to be ranging from 1.0 to 2.0. As for the length, the playlist does have a dictionary outlet but that doesn't seem to report the correct length on my Max installation. Nevertheless, I got there by asking it politely from an [sfinfo˜] object. It's a bit messy, but hopefully you will see that it works.

Thanks, HZ saved a couple of hours of head scratching
