Answer 1

After
musicList = new AudioClip[7];
        musicList[0] = null;
        musicList[1] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url1);
        musicList[2] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url2);
        musicList[3] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url3);
        musicList[4] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url4);
        musicList[5] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url5);
        musicList[6] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url6);initialise the variable current with
current = musicList[1];or similar because the AudioClip current always == null in your code so your listener blocks don`t execute.
