A quick question, I think.

I am running the MiniMusicCmdApp class below - it compiles and almost functions as expected, except after it makes the sound the class hangs (blinking cursor - see image), and I have to close down Command Prompt, reset my path etc when I reopen it.

Is this a bad class, or is there something wrong with my computer settings?

Thanks

Marten

I am not sure why it is hanging, but you can use cntl-c to force the program to shut down. Check the books website to see if there is a known problem in the code.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks David, while it does not solve the problem, it does help a lot.

At the end of the try block (immediately after calling player.start();), try adding the following...

This will cause a 2-second pause (which should be long enough for the player to play the note you specified), after which it will close the Sequencer and exit the program.

Thanks Marc, this did the trick and I am one step further on the OO journey. Not sure why they did not include in the book... probably did not want to confuse the message...
