Simple Question: Why does this code not exit properly?

Question

This code is pretty simple. All I want to do is load and play a sound file in an application, but this code to load the sound file does not exit properly. I know that some resources must be allocated which I need to deallocate in order to shut down the process, but I don't know what to call to do a proper shut-down. Any help would be appreciated.

HI , If u'r still looking for the solution, this code is working on my system -
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class PlaySoundTest extends java.applet.Applet
public static void main( java.lang.String[ ] aryArgs ){
java.net.URL urlSound = null;
try{  //rahul
try
urlSound = new java.net.URL( "file:" + aryArgs[ 0 ] );
catch( java.net.MalformedURLException murle )
murle.printStackTrace( );
System.exit( 1 );
urlSound = new java.net.URL( "file:" + aryArgs[ 0 ] );
java.applet.AudioClip acSound = java.applet.Applet.newAudioClip( urlSound );
if(acSound != null){
acSound.play();
catch( Exception murle )
{        //rahul
murle.printStackTrace( );
System.exit( 1 );
}//main
The only change I made was in the URL part - file: instead of file:/ .
The other was of course to play the soundclip ...... :- ) I got really confused the first time I played it .
