Hi Brooke, Thanks, this was very very helpfull. I solved part of my problem (loading many tracks) creating the meta file. I only have one question left: can i load a session file (custom made to match the tracks loaded in the meta file) with the meta file itself? In this way i can specify some other aspect of the tracks, like the maxY, and other aspects of the browser... Thanks a lot in advance!
