Hello!

Are there any tutorials or does any one know how to drag and drop a sound file into a processing sketch and have it play?

Thanks for any help, been struggling all day with this!

Hello,

Processing library:

Once you add that check out the examples:

Integrate it with the sound library of your choice; they also have examples.

I was able to do this from examples and without looking at posted solutions.  
I am confident that you can also.

🙂
