The best way to find API functions is to look at one of the bundled applets which does similar things. For example, if you like to see how to create a menu, look at one of the existing applets which contains a similar menu.

If you later like to make it more advanced, you could make the applet download a text file in a suitable format which contains url's to suitable audio files. That way, you would only have to update the text file to make a new audio file available for selection.

If you like to discuss functionality the "3rd party plugins" section is probably a good place. If you have specific API questions when you start to work on it, it's a good idea to post these in the "Developers" section. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
