Hi Bill,
You can use the player object. On OSX (from 10.8 onwards), it uses the
AVFoundation framework. The AVFoundation supports the following file
formats:
Audio:
.aifc and .cdda
.aif and .aiff
.caf
.m4a (=Apple m4a audio file format)
.wav, .wave, and .bwf
.amr
.ac3
.mp3
.au and .snd
Video
.m4v (=iTunes video file format)
.mp4
.mov and .qt (=QuickTime movies)
On Windows, the player should be able to play any formats supported by MCI
Player, which are more or less the usual multimedia formats supported on
Windows: .mp3, .midi, .wav, .wma, .wmv etc
We are planning to rework the Windows player soon, so this list is likely
to expand.
Best,
Panos
