Well, I tried to download and get into my pd install last winter - but I couldn´t find out how to get it onto these old win machines. Maybe there is something obvious I am doing wrong, or maybe it´s already included in the latest pd extended.
Or maybe just not for win machines. 

Someone who knows?

The object seems super nice though. Can really be helpful in a lot of situations.

Hello,
chiming in on the mp3-file playing topic aswell...
I encountered exactly the same problem trying to play a mp3 file a while ago with the object [mp3play~], receiving this error text:

==============
error: : no such object
Layer II not supported!

EOF: bang
==============

which is maybe not so surprising as we all have heard that mp3 should be the layer III to be played. But how is it possible to change an mp3 that has layer II format into a layer III format?  Seems most mp3´s are in the layer II standard. My try was with this mp3-file (found on UBU.com)
http://ubumexico.centro.org.mx/sound/broodthaers_marcel/Broodthaers-Marcel_Interview-With-A-Cat.mp3

I am attaching the help-patch for [mp3play~], which I found in IEMLIB folder.

If there only where ogg vorbis files out there it would be easy to just use [oggread~] which seems to work fine.

I am really curious about the layer II / III mystery. Also I have heard that layer III "are" the mp3 standard, and layer II not. Just 
don´t understand the error I am getting.    (I am on a win xp machine, but the same happens also on a win 7 machine)


All the best,
Björn Eriksson

Should I? I mean, the external might work fine with layer III files (in reality mp3 stands for mpeg2 layer 3), the thing is that all the converters I've used are on layer II, so I can't use it!

Anyways, I've solved it with [readsf~] playing an .aif file, but the problem I got now it's related with dinamically changing the file I need to open. I receive the filename throught OSC and it goes to a symbol and it shows me the communication went nice, but apparently it doesn't affect the open message with the dollar sign, why??

[unpack f f s]
  l    l    I
          [amnotlayertri.aif} //this is supposed to represent a symbol
           l
          [ open ../samples/$ (
           l
          [readsf~ 2]

I'm not sure about mp3 layers and names , but when that layer II file is
what I get with an mp3 bounce with Logic...
