Do you know that Version 1.3 of the JavaTM 2 Platform
includes a powerful new API for capturing, processing, and
playing back audio and MIDI (Musical Intstrument Digital Interface) data.

I'm doing a small console java app, and want to know what the function is to
make the pc speaker beep....
Answer: Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
Q: I would like to burn a CD from within my code, that way I won't have to waste
so much time making illegal copies of music. Is there a convenient way to do this in
Java?
Answer: Unfortunately Java doesn't provide any API for this :-)
Q: I use System.out.println("\007") to make a beep. It works fine with java.exe
version 2.2.2_007, but doesn't work when I use javaw.
It's said that java and javaw are exactly the same but apparently they have some
differences.
How I can use System.out.println("\007") to make a beep with javaw?

Answer: System.out.println sends a character to the standard output stream, which is
redirected to nowhere when you use javaw. Same would happen if you ran your
application under UNIX and redirected standard out to /dev/null. I'd guess that your
code wouldn't work at all on a Macintosh.
To solve this problem, do what you need more directly, for example using
java.awt.Toolkit.beep instead of a non-portable kludge with sending special ASCII
