I’m trying to use apwidgets and I don’t understand why what I’m doing isn’t working.
I downloaded apwidgets\_r44\_for\_Java1.5.zip and extracted it, and moved the apwidgets folder into the libraries folder for processing.
The gist of my code is this:
```auto
import apwidgets.*;
APMediaPlayer player;
void setup() {
player = new APMediaPlayer(this);
player.setMediaFile("file.mp3");
player.start();
}
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (player!=null) {
player.release();
}
}
```
There are no errors in processing itself, but when I run it, I get this error:
```auto

I don’t think it is receiving any maintenance. Can you see if there is any date related to when it was last modified? Did you get it from github or from other repo? Check the old forum for MediaPlayer sample codes.

@akenaton Is there any way I could so sound then? That’s the only thing I could find that appeared to work
