Hi,

I'd like to load a sound file, store the sound as an object, and then
play it back at some later time. What are the classes appropriate
for that scheme? I have a lot of experience programming Java, aside
from audio, so really all I need is a pointer to the right approach,
and I think I can figure out the rest.

Thanks for your help. I found a lot of stuff about Java audio
programming,
but I didn't see (or couldn't recognize) a solution to this problem.

I did some poking at the Java audio and media packages a long while
back. One obvious answer would be to store the sound a a file with a
know format (.wav, etc.) on disk then use
javax.sound.sampled.spi.AudioFileReader object to open and play back the
sound.

Sun makes a sample app that's pretty good for demonstrating their audio
stuff. I got it to read input from the microphone on my laptop (just me
speaking) and then play it back. Try doing a search for JavaSoundDemo.jar.
