hi,
 
as i was bored with 2 things :
 
* limitations of openpanel as regards
to non-alpha characters
 
* 3-click file loading in PD
 
i did this new object : playlist
which enables you to select
from a list of files with one click
and, even, to make some random
search in the list.
 
with this object and mp3live~, i made an xmms-like
patch which is included in playlist.tar.gz.
you need to update mp3live~ in order to make it work properly
because i've added a bang when mp3fileout~ reaches
the end of current file.
 
the playlist object can be used more generally
for loading files ( samples, patches, .... )
and it handles most non-alpha characters
( those i've tested ).
 
sorry, linux only for now.
( are you busy, Olaf ??? )
 
cheers,
 
Yves/
