Hi, I was wondering how to set a julia program to beep or play some tones or music when a long program finally finishes running. (Googling this question leads to recommendations for old packages, like AudioIO, which aren’t maintained and don’t install properly.) Thanks!

Right, I suspect this is related to spaces in a path with powershell ( see this discussion ). I think the following will catch Windows folders with and without spaces: function play_a_tune2(SoundFileName1) script = ```\$sound = New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer\; \$sound.SoundLo…

Sbromberger, the sound is nothing fancy, but it does work when executed as a program (not just from the REPL). Cormullion, thanks, but no Mac, I’m working from 2 Windows computers (one running Win 7.0 and one running Win 10.0). Ideally, it would be nice to take some interesting mp3 or wav soundcli…

I am also using Windows (10) and I use a powershell script to accomplish that: function sound_done() script = ```\$sound = New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer\; \$sound.SoundLocation = "<sound file location>"\; \$sound.Play``` run(`powershell /c $script`)…

I just looked it up, you can also use \$sound.PlayLooping and other commands. You can find the documentation here .

Ludwig, I looked at your 2nd suggestion (PlayLooping), and it led to about 10 pages of documentation with no clear examples to try out (not clear to me anyway). Trying out your first method gives me an error no matter how I try to locate or specify the file. The directory I wanted to put the wav fi…

Actually I DID finally get this working: function Play_A_Tune(SoundFileName1) script = ```\$sound = New-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer\; \$sound.SoundLocation = $(SoundFileName1)\; \$sound.Play``` run(`powershell /c $script`) end With a call like: Pla…

Did you try typing raw before the filepath? For example: Play_A_Tune(raw"C:\\Data Area\\Folder\\file_example_WAV_1MG.wav") When I want to target a specific file on Windows, I usually Shift+Right Click on the file in Windows Explorer, select Copy as Path, and then paste the path after first typing r…

Hi Joseph M., good idea trying “raw”, I didn’t know about that option, but it didn’t work. PetrKryslUCSD, I already implemented that, see above.

[image] josephmarturano: raw"C:\\Data Area\\Folder\\file_example_WAV_1MG.wav" That doesn’t look right to me. If you have raw"", then you shouldn’t need to do \\ to get a single backslash. As written, this will put literal double backslashes into the path. I’m not sure how Windows handles that…

Good idea Joseph, but changing the \\ back to \ doesn’t fix it. Oddly, something like FileName = "C:\\Data Area\\Folder\\file_example_WAV_1MG.wav" IS working for commands like writedlm and readdlm, but NOT for Play_A_Tune here. Strange!
