Playing sound on the Mac Desktop in Objective C.

There are different ways for playing sound on the Mac in Objective C.

Let’s look at some of the methods..
1. Play by filename.

           NSSound *mySound = [NSSound soundNamed:@"sound"];

if you have no file named “sound” in your application’s main bundle, then it will return nil.

2. Play by pathName

           sound = [[NSSound alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"/Volumes/Audio/sound.aiff"
           byReference:YES];

3. Play by URL

        NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL
        fileURLWithString:@"file://~/soundfiles/sound.aiff"];
        NSSound *sound = [[NSSound alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundURL

byReference:NO];
Then to play the sound add

         if (![sound isPlaying])
                [sound play];

To pause the sound

               [sound pause];

To stop the sound.

              [sound stop];

To resume the sound

             [sound resume];
