Do the J2ME MIDP APIs support playback of audio or sounds?

There are currently no standard J2ME MIDP APIs for playing audio from MIDlets.

Please consider letting the MIDP expert group know how you would like to use audio, so that they can consider including audio playback support in for a future revision of the specification. The group can be reached from links on the spec document, available from the MIDP homepage:
