Luther,

Yes Please. And maybe an example of the shell command that implements it.

Is there a way to play sounds using just AppleScript. Or just not having QuickTime or any other app launch?
There are OSAXEN out there that let you play a snd resource but I'm looking for a more generic mechanism:
Play Sound (some file.mp3)
that will just play some quicktime supported file format sound file.
Isn't QuickTime a layer of the OS? I can script Image Events and System Events. What about QuickTime?


The snd resource is OK if I knew how to save them these days. I think it used to be an AIFF that you resaved as a resource ID but I only ever did this in ResEdit... kinda defunct now isn't it?

The Play Sound application is very nice, but I have not scripted it to play sounds. I have used the qtplay shell command and like it very much. qtplay is open-sourced and comes with source code. The version available at http://rainbowflight.googlepages.com/ is not Universal Binary. I have a recompiled copy which is UB. Ask and I'll send a copy.
