Hi, I've asked this in another of my threads, but it wasn't the main topic:

Could someone remind me how to get the sample length of an audio file in PD? I've tried putting the filename via the [openpanel] into [symbol] into [read $1( into [soundfiler], but it seems I need to read it from an array, so I'd need to write it to an array first... isn't there a simpler way?

@s.elliot.perez It should work when you write it to the array...... with a number attached to the outlet of [soundfiler].......... but you don't need to read the array (the "read" in the message means read the file) and then you could delete the array if you wish but I imagine that you will want to use it anyway?
David.
