Hi Romain,
Please also read the other posts about the -maxsize option for soundfiler. Sound quality for readsf~ is as good as it gets. The only difference is it reads the ound from the disk as it is playing, and this is better in that you can load a soundfile while playing the patch without dropouts. When you load a file into an array or [table] using soundfiler, the audio switches off for a moment, so you have to load all sounds before you start playing. With readsf~ you can load a new sound in the middle of a performance without affecting the audio.

Hello ed,
Thank you, I understand more how to load sound with [resize] object, and I found object to find lenght of the sound. And I test
[readsf~] object, you are right, it's more easy to Load with it, but I would like to know if the sound quality is maximal with [readsf~] ??

It is, by default 4000000. You can load larger files by changing the message to soundfiler from:
[read -resize myfile.wav sound(
to
[sound resize 8000000; read myfile.wav sound(
In short, you resize a table manually to some number of samples (here it's 8000000) before you load a soundfile into it. I believe there is an object called soundfileinfo~ or something that gives you the length of a soundfile...but I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called or where it is in pd-extended
Alternatively, if you don't want to use the soundfile as though it were a table (i.e. if you just want to play the file) it's better to use [readsf~]

Thank for your answer, I will trying to modificate my own error but now the error message say:
