Hi Bill,
Try this:
lock messages -- to prevent a couple of 'playStopped' messages
stop player "audio"
set the filename of player "audio" to empty
wait 0 seconds with messages
set the filename of player "audio" to tMyFullAudioFilePath
unlock messages
start player "audio"

Is there anything special I need to do, if I want to stop a player, then assign
it a different sound file? It seems to want only to play the file that it is
initially set at. I play different sound files as I step through a presentation.
Best,
Bill

BTW, the dictionary entry for Player refers to Quicktime movie and needs

Hi Bill,
You can use the player object. On OSX (from 10.8 onwards), it uses the
AVFoundation framework. The AVFoundation supports the following file
formats:
Audio:
.aifc and .cdda
.aif and .aiff
.caf
.m4a (=Apple m4a audio file format)
.wav, .wave, and .bwf
.amr
.ac3
.mp3
.au and .snd
Video
.m4v (=iTunes video file format)
.mp4
.mov and .qt (=QuickTime movies)
On Windows, the player should be able to play any formats supported by MCI
Player, which are more or less the usual multimedia formats supported on
Windows: .mp3, .midi, .wav, .wma, .wmv etc
We are planning to rework the Windows player soon, so this list is likely
to expand.
Best,
Panos

Folks:
I know this has been discussed ad-infinitum here. But, I can’t find the
references I need and the dictionary is no help. So…..
Playing sounds. I want to play sound files and don’t want to have to use
Quicktime, since Apple is not supporting it anymore and I want to play the
files on Windows too.
So.,. What are my choices and what sound file format should I use?
Could you point me to a reference relevant to LC8?
Thanks for your patience,
Bill
