I think you need to look at using pointers and structs. I really don't know much about them myself I'm afraid so I can't tell you specifically how to do it, (it's one of the things I'm gonna learn once I've finally got Linux working properly!) but there's some info on it near the end of the manual and in the help docs. Try the 'pointer' object as a starter. I think you should be able to implement the stack as an array of filenames and use the primitive pointer operations to push and pop. Let us know how you get on: I'm interested to see what can be done in this area.

Cheers Stefan

Dear PD-Community,

I=B4m looking for a way to play about 5 or 10 different audio-files one = after the other. The file should be in a an audio-file-stack where a = pointer stores the position in the stack, when the audio-playback got = stoped. - Activating the stack-playback again, the next audio-file = should be played. Does anybody know, how to solve such a problem ?
