# Loads a sound from the location specified by the user and plays it back.
# JT's note: It appears that JES only works with certain types of sound files
# which aren't too large. As a rule of thumb it's best to try playing only
# wav files that are less than 100 Kilobytes (~100,000 bytes) in size.
# (To help you out I included a sound file that I know will work).

   # Echo back what the user entered in case they selected so they can see
   # possible errors (e.g., selected a file that wasn't a sound).
   print "You want to play the sound ", path

   # Create a sound by loading the file from the location specified by the
   # user.
