Play 2 wav files after each other

I am trying to play 2 files after each other.

However, I tried multiple things and it either plays the two files simultaniously or the second file does not get played at all.

This is th ecode I tried:

[y1, Fs1] = audioread('file1.wav');     %this file is 5 seconds long
[y2, Fs2] = audioread('file2.wav');     %this file is 1.6 seconds long

player = audioplayer(y1, Fs1);
player2 = audioplayer(y2, Fs2);

play(player);
pause(2);                               
play(player2);

Like this they just play simultaniously, without a time difference of 2 seconds.

File2 does not get played 2 seconds later than file1.

Can anyone help me with this?

Use the playblocking function to get them to play the way you want them.

[y1, Fs1] = audioread('file1.wav');     %this file is 5 seconds long
[y2, Fs2] = audioread('file2.wav');     %this file is 1.6 seconds long

player = audioplayer(y1, Fs1);
player2 = audioplayer(y2, Fs2);

playblocking(player);
playblocking(player2);

thank you so much, that helped me play them right after each other, but without the 2 second delay I wanted.

Do you know how to implement that?

The pause function does not seam to work for this (as it keeps telling me: Index exceeds matrix dimensions)

My pleasure.

You did not mention the 2 second delay. I thought you were pausing after the first one to let it finish, and not allowing enough time.

Try this:

playblocking(player);
pause(2)
playblocking(player2);

That worked when I ran it.
