artsplay creates a SimpleSoundServer, which has a plugin? architecture. Currently there is a WavPlayObject.mcopclass to allow for playing wav files. Other file extensions can be added to the architecture by creating the appropriate mcopclasses? That's my quick understanding from the code... [EMAIL PROTECTED] would most likely be a really good source for some of this as well. After all the implementers/maintainers spend a good deal of online time there. Gordon Sadler
