You should post the error message, too. Otherwise we can just guess what's your problem. Maybe your audio file ist not in a data folder within your sketch folder. The structure should be like this: 'sketchFolder/data/piano.wav'

Cheers,

The constructor Minim() doesn't exist... you have to specify a PApplet.
Try this:

import ddf.minim.*;
class wavfile extends Minim {
String name=null;
wavfile(String name) {
super(parent);
this.name=name;
}
}
PApplet parent;
wavfile mywav;
void setup() {
size(400, 400);
parent = this;
mywav=new wavfile("piano.wav");
}

I don't understand your question...
POO? Do you mean OOP? (I don't think so...)

As calsign shown, super() must be the first call of the constructor.
Beside, there is probably no interest at all in extending Minim. Better pass the Minim instance as parameter or something like that.
