I'm having problems getting this to work. Still really new to Java.
Don't suppose anyone's got an example program I can look at?

I'm making a simple game and I wanted to put a short sound file in to
just loop while the person is playing.

Can someone give me any pointers on where to start? Or just the names
of some simple-ish API's? Don't really know where to start.

Cheers

AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip(new URL("file:/song.wav"));
clip.loop();

For details see the API docs:

This works(cut & paste from my code), you just need to fix any missing
variables.
it MUST be on it's own thread

try {


                if (PlayIntro == true) {

                    // start by loading sound file
                    dosoundLoad(new URL( // "file:" +
                        ourProgramDirectory + "/" + IntroFile));
                }



                if (PlayIntro == true) {
                    dosoundplay();
                }
} catch (Exception e) {
                 //

                }

    private static void dosoundLoad(final URL file) {
        audioClip = Applet.newAudioClip(file);
    }

    private static void dosoundplay() {
        try {
            Runnable r2 = new Runnable()
             {
                public void run() {
                    try {

                        // AudioClip audioClip = Applet.newAudioClip(file);
                        audioClip.play();
                        Thread.yield();
                        Thread.sleep(2 * 1000L); // sleep for n seconds to
load file
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.out.println(e);
                    }
                }
            }
            ;

            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r2);

    }
