has anyone experimented with cd within pd ?

does a cdplayer object exist for pd ?

no, but it is a rather frequent request.

else, could use netsend/netreceive to connect to cd player and control position and track at least .. nice if there was varispeed player as well. also nice if you could do this per player ..

There´s a varispeed player sfread within the ggext package, only for UNIX systems though.

see ftp://iem.mhsg.ac.at/gige/ggext

For NT there´s Wini´s sfplay external,

ftp://iem.mhsg.ac.at/pd/Externs/wr but this is no varispeed AFAIK

We´re looking for someone to write the ultimate cross-platfrom varispeed cd and soundfile player external :)
