I see in Jon's notes about "Play Sound" this note.

"Note that under Mac OS X, there are no system resources, so include your sound resources in your applet. At this time, AIFF files are not supported."

I vaguely remember doing this to get "Play Sound" to work with OS 10.

Hey Bob,

Jon's Commands osax will only play the old Mac System sound format files.

Provided you have such a file you can:

set errorSound to alias "DiskDrive:SomeFolder:SomeSound"
play sound errorSound

I extracted all of my old system sounds from my old System file using one of the Mac OS 9 sound extractor utilities. These work fine with "play sound".

I use "play sound" all the time to play custom error sounds in scripts.
