Thanks IOhannes, I tried playing with endianess on a couple of files I downloaded but didn't have any luck. Is there a program that I can run a wav file through to get all it's info ie. sample size, endianess etc. I find it frustrating just trying different settings to get readsf~ to play a file I download. Does anyone know where I can find documentation that discusses readsf~ more comprehensively than the help file. Thanks. Jim

sounds like a problem with endianess. (e.g.: the 2 bytes of a 16bit sample are swapped) this occurs when you try to play back files on a pc that have been created on a mac or vice versa. there should be an option to [readsf~] where you can specify which endianess should be used (it defaults to your machine's endianess) there is no such option with [sfplay], but you could use [swap~] to do a byte-swap manually -> this will only work if you haven't done anything to the data that is coming out of [sfplay] (e.g: no [*~])
