Thread: Help with my MATLAB DJ program?

I am making a MATLAB DJ program in which I can load in a song, have it display on a listbox, stop, pause, and play it, as well as determine it's BPM. I am trying to use audioplayer for my push buttons (stop, play, etc.) but for some reason, it is not working properly. I used GUIDE to make my GUI, but I will show my m.file

function varargout = MatlabMedia(varargin)
% MATLABMEDIA M-file for MatlabMedia.fig
% MATLABMEDIA, by itself, creates a new MATLABMEDIA or raises the existing
% singleton*.
%
% H = MATLABMEDIA returns the handle to a new MATLABMEDIA or the handle to
% the existing singleton*.
%
% MATLABMEDIA('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,. ..) calls the local
% function named CALLBACK in MATLABMEDIA.M with the given input arguments.
%
% MATLABMEDIA('Property','Value',...) creates a new MATLABMEDIA or raises the
% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are
% applied to the GUI before MatlabMedia_OpeningFcn gets called. An
% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
% stop. All inputs are passed to MatlabMedia_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one
% instance to run (singleton)".

% See also: GUIDE, GUIDATA, GUIHANDLES

Whenever I try to run my program, I get these errors

??? Error using ==> audioplayer.audioplayer at 44
Not enough input arguments.

Error in ==> MatlabMedia>MatlabMedia_OpeningFcn at 64
p=audioplayer();

Error in ==> gui_mainfcn at 221
feval(gui_State.gui_OpeningFcn, gui_hFigure, [], guidata(gui_hFigure),
varargin{:});

Error in ==> MatlabMedia at 42
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

I could play the wav files using wavplay, but then i cannot use stop and pause features that audioplayer has...

I am unfamiliar with the audioplayer function but it looks like it requires at least 2 inputs. You seem to call it with no inputs at one stage?

Create object for playing audio - MATLAB

I was trying to set a global variable at the beginning an was told that was how to go about it.

Code:

global p

should be all you need although I haven't run your code as it wont work without your fig file.

Generally I try to avoid global variables.
Here is a short tutorial I started trying to put together on making GUI's with matlab. You can place variables inside the handle structure to avoid using globals. It might be something you want to consider, although using globals will work too of course).

Thanks for the responses. I went to my TA's recitation and he helped me out. I can now load a wav file in, play, pause, and stop it.

I was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to simultaneously play songs?

Just interested: How did you end up stopping it while playing?

made a stop button

Called the global p variable at the start of the call back
typed in stop(p)
