How to play sounds sequentially?

hydrodog

I use minim to play sounds and it works. But it plays asynchronously. How do I play sounds sequentially?

im not that good at english, so you want to play more than one sound one after another? i think you can check with playing() if a sound is playing at the moment but i'm not sure!

maybe i can help you a bit with my answer

I don't want to do a busy wait, I want to sleep until the sound is done playing. This code will play two sounds simultaneously.

import ddf.minim.*;
Minim minim;

void say(String w) {
  AudioPlayer p = audioClips.get(w);
  if (p == null) {
    println("Loading: " + w);
    p = minim.loadFile(w);
    audioClips.put(w, p);
  }
  p.rewind();
  p.play();
}

void setup() {
    minim = new Minim(this);
    say("test1.mp3");
    say("test2.mp3");
}

It's not normally a good idea to completely halt the execution of a sketch (especially in Processing's graphics-oriented world), but in this isolated case it can't really hurt anything...

Just loop until it finishes:

void say(String w) {
  AudioPlayer p = audioClips.get(w);
  if (p == null) {
    println("Loading: " + w);
    p = minim.loadFile(w);
    audioClips.put(w, p);
  }
  p.rewind();
  p.play();

  //Loop...
  while(p.isPlaying()) {
    //Check back every 1/2 second
    Thread.sleep(500);
  }

  //When we break out of the loop, the player has completed...
  //...and we can move on
}
