Welcome to SimpleSound.
The java SimpleSound API has a very simple purpose: to make audio recording and playback more accessible to beginner and intermediate java programmers. If you have looked at the javax.sound API it is a pretty advanced library and might be hard for those just starting to learn java. The javax.sound API is not the only barrier for begginger programmers. For any practical audio playback or recording programmers must understand concurrent programming techiniques. [SimpleSound utilizes multithreading] Essentially, what SimpleSound does is it breaks the javax.sound API into two fundemental parts: recording and playback.
