I'm wondering if any windows users have had success with any mp3 playback externals?
I tried mp3play~ in iemlib which wouldn't create, and also readanysf~ which also wouldn't create.
I think I followed the installation instructions correctly and it's more likely that it just isn't working.

thanks

@randal No, no success. You might just need the "lame" library though. MP3 is licenced software after all.
This could be enough...... added to the "iemlib" folder, or maybe better dumped in the "bin" folder.....

Actually, it is documented (and well hidden as usual) in the "unauthorized" folder "readme".....!

Hmm, yes that didn't seem to work,

I noticed that in the download from the pd externals page, there is a separate folder for the mp3 stuff with the source, so perhaps I could try to compile it myself, but I probably won't end up doing that.

I don't think I have the same readme's that you mentioned (I have the dekken installed version 1.7, and the 1.7 zip from the pd site). Shame, because it would be a good way to have a large library of source material for processing sounds, but I suspect it just isn't compiled to work on current windows machines...
