Hi.
I'm very new to programming, so this may be an obvious answer, but any help would be truly appreciated!

What I'm trying to do is load a 30 second mp3, and depending on the users selection (the user would have around 10 selections, only a portion of that mp3 is played) Every selection will start from the beginning of the mp3, but I need to program it so that one selection will play only 10 seconds from the beginning, another selection will play 20 seconds from the beginning, etc.
On top of that, I'd like to add effects to the mp3 dependent on the selection.

I've checked out Minim, but I can't seem to figure out how to play only a portion of an mp3 when play is selected, as opposed to the entire mp3....

I would want it so that it fades out prior to the end as well, so it just doesn't cut abruptly.....

Can anyone help with this??

I've just struggled through this myself - you can try -

   yourPlayer.setLoopPoints(1000, 2000);
   yourPlayer.loop(10);

Loop points are in milliseconds and the num in the loop() is the number of times to loop.

I hope that works for you.
