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

I'm doing a small console java app, and want to know what the function is to<br />
make the pc speaker beep....<br />
Answer: Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();<br />
Q: I would like to burn a CD from within my code, that way I won't have to waste<br />
so much time making illegal copies of music. Is there a convenient way to do this in<br />
<strong>Java</strong>?<br />
Answer: Unfortunately <strong>Java</strong> doesn't provide any API for this :-)<br />
Q: I use System.out.println("\007") to make a beep. It works fine with java.exe<br />
version 2.2.2_007, but doesn't work when I use javaw.<br />
It's said that java and javaw are exactly the same but apparently they have some<br />
differences.<br />
How I can use System.out.println("\007") to make a beep with javaw?<br />
Visit us here and you will find<br />
much more tips!<br />
Answer: System.out.println sends a character to the standard output stream, which is<br />
redirected to nowhere when you use javaw. Same would happen if you ran your<br />
application under UNIX and redirected standard out to /dev/null. I'd guess that your<br />
code wouldn't work at all on a Macintosh.<br />
To solve this problem, do what you need more directly, for example using<br />
java.awt.Toolkit.beep instead of a non-portable kludge with sending special ASCII<br />
