I want to know the difference between audioplayer and sound in matlab.

As far as I know, sound and audioplayer play a vector with a given sampling rate. What is the difference between them? Are they the same? Is there a situation where audioplayer is applicable but not the sound or vice-versa?

Seetha - using the audio player object allows you to do much more than just "play" a vector of data at a given sampling rate (which is about all you can do with sound). You can pause the playback, resume it, play with blocking, get and set properties of the object, etc. See audioplayer for details.

You would use the audio player object when you want more control over the data that you are playing (for example, maybe you have a GUI that you wish to use to manipulate the sound data - play, pause, resume, stop).
