First day using sound and processing. Im trying out Minim because it seems the easiest to use. My sketch loads 5 images and allows you to click the right and left edge to cycle the images. if you click the center of the sketch it triggers the sound file to play.
however, the sound file stops a couple seconds early. if you click again it starts from where it left off but doesnt compete. the audio stops playing but will never play the complete track. keep clicking and the sound gets shorter and shorter but never finishes. always starting from where the audio cut out the time before.
im using processing 2.0b3.
and minim 2.02
any help would be great
thank you.

update: fixed it myself
used the example from learningprocessing.com
had to switch from calling the audioPlayer to audioSnippet.
added logic to my play method
1. rewind makes sure the file starts from beginning
2. the if statement makes sure it doesnt play if it is already playing
