I'm writing a litle program for personal use that deals with music.

Unfortunately, I have two problems with it resulting from lack of coding knowledge in the area of sounds.

First and most important of all two questions, how do you determine when a song is done playing and has ended? I want it to cycle through a list of songs and this is a bit of an issue.

Second, I have about 300mb of sound data that it loads. This takes around five minutes or so. Is there any way to speed this process up?
