Playing Sounds in J2ME .. quicker?

[footose]

I'm using basic code to play sounds inside of my project.

public void playsnd() {
try {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/res/test.wav");
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/x-wav");
p.prefetch();
p.start();
}
catch (IOException ex) {}
catch (MediaException ex) {}

}

The problem I'm having is that I have 4 sounds that I want to play, in progression, and they always seem to be "lagged" whenever I try to load them.

Is there a way to load the player / sound when you start the app and then just play them so they dont' have to load everytime you want to play them?

1) Do the 4 sounds need to be separate files? If they always play in progression you could combine them.

2) Theoretically you could create multiple players and prefetch them on load, then just call player1.start() instead of the entire playsnd(). I haven't messed with that much though.
