Plz don't ask us to write code for you.

However, the answer is that it cannot be done in Java.

As for the VB code, the easiest way to find out why your code doesn't work is to look up the function mciSendString in the MSDN, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library. If what you want to do can be done, it should be documented properly there, or linked from there. The specific MCI commands are very... idiosyncratic.

You can do it in ASM, and if you make your Java program call ASM, you can do it that way.

I don't know how to do the ASM code, but there something on the website saying there's a way to hava Java call C++ or ASM. http://java.sun.com/ I think it was JRI or something like that.

Nevermind, it was supposed to be a joke. Taubz told you what you wanted to know.
