/*
 * Example SoundPlayerDemo: example of how to use the sound player
 * from jfugue.org.
 * 
 * This program uses a library called ``JFugue'' from David Koelle to 
 * make music.  Much like objectdraw, this library is not part of a standard
 * Java or BlueJ installation, so you will need to add it.
 * 
 * First, visit http://www.jfugue.org/download.html and download the first
 * file in the list (jfugue-4.0.3.jar).  Save this to your account and then
 * add it to BlueJ's list of libraries.  You can accomplish this by going 
 * into BlueJ's preferences, choosing ``Libraries'', then adding the path to
 * the JFugue library to the list of User Libraries.  After doing this, quit
 * and restart BlueJso it can load the library correctly.
