Re: Simple example of playing a sound?

Three options I can think of here.

The simpliest is to use the Applet.play().
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#play(java.net.URL)

URL soundUrl = new URL("file://sound.wav");
AudioClip audioClip = Applet.newAudioClip(soundUrl);
audioClip.play();


Next level of complexity is to use the javax.sound.sampled.* classes.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/sound/sampled/package-summary.html

URL soundUrl = new URL("file://sound.wav");
AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundUrl);
DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class,
audioInputStream.getFormat());
Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
clip.open(audioInputStream);
clip.start();


And third would be to download the Java Media Framework (JMF)
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/

URL soundUrl = new URL("file://sound.wav");
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(soundUrl);
player.start();
