I'm using Maxi patch AO, but for some reasons it wont let me open mp3's or aiff's or wavs. I've dragged and dropped them on every spot on the interface but they just don't open. You ever see this before? I don't have this problem using the video version of maxipatch - it opens files fine.

p.s. I'm using the latest version of AO and I'm on os10.5

To open audio files by drag 'n drop from the OSX finder, make sure that you select the "file player" tab to bring up the main
window for the file player (the view that contains the filter graph). You then can drag 'n drop audio files onto the main file player region of either the left or right deck. If the tab for "file player" is not selected, then the drag 'n drop doesn't work.

I'm testing version 3.7.0 on OSX 10.5.6 and it works fine.
