Folks:
Just wondering about playing sound with 8.1. I assume that using the video
player control is the way to do it. But, I tried the Play “audioclip” fName
command with an mp3 audio and it just gave me noise. The video player control
works fine. But, I just want to ask, or point out, whether this is a bug in the
play command, or whether it is just something left over in the documentation.
The dictionary give an example of aiff file, but doesn’t mention restrictions
on what format can be played.
Also, the command to stop playing is confusing. The dictionary says the syntax
is:
stop [playing] {player | videoclip | audioClip}
This doesn’t work and you need to use:
play "audioClip" stop
Just wondering and in the interests of accurate documentation, mentioning this.
The online lesson at:

is ok, though.
I’m wondering, with the player object, whether this feature is even needed.
