Hey, Glad it worked. You are correct: It plays for 100 milliseconds and pauses in 100. About your NPE, you cannot 'null' the player before cancelling both timer tasks, which means that you need to assign them to variables, rather than use them as anonymous inner classes. Once both timer tasks have been cancelled and the timer has been cancelled too, you can then stop and 'null' the player.
