use [metro 1000]->[time] fom zexy, -> [select] with the parameters you  
need to trigger everything.
you can send the |set $1< message to tabplay~, or use  readsf~ to play  
directly from disk. The latest would be maybe easier in this context (if  
only normal playback is needed), just send a message |open file1.x, 1<,  
|open file2.x, 1<, etc.
