Hi, Javagirl

Sound is definitely possible in Java. If you want sound running in hte background of an applet you'll need to look at "Thread" and "play".

Threads are used when more than action is performed, eg sound and animation in an applet. Play simply does that. e.g.

play(getCodeBase(), soundFile);

From Java 1.2 onwards it has been possible to write code for .au sound files, .wav files, .aif files and .mid files.

Try looking through the applets with source code for ideas... there are plenty in the Java Boutique and elsewhere. Here's one to get the ball rolling...
