AshleyI wrote: I pasted this code in a seperate method; and changed the URL link and I get 24 errors ... that a lot of these variables are not defined such as stream, AudioFormat etc.. Should I be declaring something in class or importing?? All variables must be declared, or else they cannot be used. As for AudioFormat, it's a class, and that you must import from the javax.sound.sampled package. Unfortunately, I don't understand too much about the javax.sound.sampled package, but I do remember that it was really confusing and complicated, and I ended up using the Applet class's AudioClip interface for my own project. If your program is an applet, you can use your applet's built-in method getAudioClip (url), or use Applet's static method, Applet.newAudioClip (url), to create a new AudioClip object, and you don't have to worry about formats or anything else like that.

Unfortunately, my game is created in consoles. And I tried to import javax.sound.sampled.*; and I am getting an error: Import refers to a missing package. Does anyone know anything about that? And how do I declare other variables? The Q may sound stupid, but I have no idea what I m doing anymore. Ashley.
