Re: [PD] using puredata to play playlist gapless
Pd will play all files gapless, according to their file length. The 'gap' problem mostly refers to the MP3 format, which encodes the audio in fixed frame length. So if your song doesn't fit neatly into a multiple of the fixed frame length, you get a gap, i.e. the leftover part of the last frame is filled with silence. That's a problem with the MP3 format that basically all other file formats don't have. .hc On 02/19/2013 12:47 PM, Rick T wrote: Yes I do have the ability to change the playlist file to a text file and alter it how it looks.

You load your playlist (in its most simple form it would be just one filename per line) with [textfile]. You make [textfile] output its first line, feed that to [readsf~]. Then you feed the right outlet of [readsf~] - which bangs when the file is finished - back to [textfile] to make it output the next filename.

Re: [PD] using puredata to play playlist gapless
Oh silly me. You need to look at the syntax for using readsf~ - it's more complicated. First, readsf~ needs an open message e.g. open 001test.wav, then it needs a 1 to start playback. Forgive me if you already know this, but you can string 2 messages together with a comma. And to get the filename from textfile into a message like that, you need to use $1 as a placeholder. So between textfile and readsf~ you need a message saying something like open $1, 1. That'll turn into 2 messages: open 001test.wav and then 1. If the files are in the same directory as the patch, it should work (I think).

The thing I'm looking for is an example of gapless playing. I couldn't find one doing google search. You load your playlist (in its most simple form it would be just one filename per line) with [textfile]. You make [textfile] output its first line, feed that to [readsf~]. Then you feed the right outlet of [readsf~] - which bangs when the file is finished - back to [textfile] to make it output the next filename.
