Programming the adafruit wave shield?

I'm still getting thrown errors, such as "variable or field 'play' declared void"

Post the EXACT error message.There is likely still something wring with where you installed the libraries. A link to where you got them from would be helpful, too.

I have older versions of the libraries involved. I pasted your (improperly posted) code in the IDE, and got several errors related to using older versions of the libraries (pre 1.0 versions).

Once I modified all the libraries to play with 1.0.3, the code you posted compiled.
