play wav file from console application

[Benjamin Mulder]

Is it possible? All the stuff I've found about sound are related to applets.

But I don't want an applet. My application executes from console. How do I do that? Feel free to offer any sample code. Thanks in advance.

public class SoundPlayah
{
  
  public static void main ( String[] args )  throws Exception
  {
    BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader ( System.
        in ) ) ;
 
    System.out.println("Enter a number : ");
     String answer = System.in.read();
 
   if (answer.equals("1"))
      {
     //  code to play *.wav file here
      }
 
   }
 
}

I refer you to the java sound programmers guide

Assume that it is possible to develop such applcation, how can you stop your player? It will become an audio application without stop option? You can start to play your application with choosing option in the command, but how can you stop?

Is there any specific reason why you want to develop such audio applications on console? or is it just to test the APIs?

Why shouldn't it be possible to stop playing a sound file on the console?
Where is the difference to a gui?
