yes. thats what i am doing in my patch.
the attached patch is a simplified version of the patch i am using. after stopping the mp3write~ i seem to have to open a dummy.mp3 file to release the other file to make it possible for another application to copy it.
but memory gets only released after i quit pd. opening another file is not enough.
thankes. joreg.

it took me a long time to find out why my pc freezes after about 30 minutes of operation. but now i think i found something.
i am using [mp3write~] to generate an mp3 file that is then taken by an other program and moved to a different folder (i can't do that within pd, right?). now i noticed that my system is continuously loosing memory while this patch is running. when there is no more physical memory available (which i am observing with taskmanager) the system freezes. closing pd priort to a freeze releases all the memory again.
the attached patch is a simplified version of the patch i am using. after stopping the mp3write~ i seem to have to open a dummy.mp3 file to release the other file to make it possible for another application to copy it. for my purpose i would use mode "truncate" of [mp3write~] then, but using modes "truncate" or "append" doesn't seem to make a difference.
using [writesf~] instead of [mp3write~] works. but i need .mp3 files. this happens running pd 0.36-0 on w2k and wxp using mp3write~ version 0.1
help meee youu. joreg.
