Here's what I have in mind : create a program that plays a short sound
sampls (2 seconds max.) and the asks the user to match it with 4
possible sound files (he'd have to click on 4 icons, linked to a
different sound sample).
What flavor? WAV, MID, MOD, WMV, MP3,
AU, AIFF..?
This is an important question to resolve
early on.
If you control the format that the sound is
in, it becomes easier. Do you?
Core J2SE has inbuilt support for some
WAV, AU, AIFF and MID (MIDI - sequenced
music). For a limited range of other
formats, you might look to (the now
abandoned) JMF, or other Java based
API's.
..there's any coding available which could
import and manipulate sound samples.
Manipulate in the sense of play, and stop
at a certain time?
Sure. An applet can do it within a handful
of lines of code (most of which would be
the GUI and event handling for starting
and stopping the sound), an application
in just a few more.
More sophistcated control can be achieved
using the classes in the (core Java)
javax.sound packages.
