I think one of the reason one might have to be able to play mp3´s or ogg´s from inside a pd-patch can be that you´re working with some interactivity, thematic project for instance where one is sniffing the web for sounds.
I regard mp3´s as usual as for instance jpg´s are on the web, speaking of some image analogy of compressed formats. I don´t like the licencing of mp3 though and would prefer ogg to be the main standard.
Sometimes there aren´t time enough to do conversions on the fly to uncompressed formats before importing files onto pd.
I can with other words imaging a number of situations which could call for a a playability of mp3 and oggs.
Soundwise we all know wave and aiff sounds better, but I am a bit surprised this seems to be a so complicated and sensitive issue about having pd play a compressed sound file with some ease. Maybe this has been discussed over the years over and over,so forgive me if this already stated somewhere about these things.

Why should you export to mp* from logic? That sounds rather insane unless you *need* mp*
mp* are lossy compressed, and unless you have a precise 'aesthetic' reason to having mpeg-degraded audio quality simply export to a lossless format.
That said there are probably thousands of converters out there from-to mp* to anything, google is your friend there.

Thank you both!

A MPEG-1 LAyer II file is MP2 not MP3. You will need to find a player/converter for that. Maybe VLC? There are multiple ways to play .wav files with Pd - check the example patches included with it.

I'm trying to play an mp3 layerII file with [mp3play~] ans it does only support layer III files. While I'm looking for the appropiate converter (fail at that by now) I was wondering if there was another external able to play layer II files (the most common type, not?). Anyways I'll be happy too if I can play an not compressed audio file like an .aiff or .wav but in stereo? how the f*ck I do that?
