Sound either loops, or plays once and once only - loops

Question

Ok, so I'm having problems playing my wav sounds in the most efficient way as possible. IF I get rid of the 'clip.setFramePosition' in my Audio class, then the sound loops (obviously because the clip keeps reversing back to frame 0). IF I take away the 'clip.setFramePosition' method, the sound plays ONCE, and once only (probably because it needs to be set BACK to it's original frame position).
Two classes are involved:
/**
* Initalise sound clips
*/
public static Clip reverb = loadClip("/SFX_Intro/reverb.wav");
public static Clip glitch = loadClip("/SFX_Intro/glitch.wav");
public static Clip menu = loadClip("/SFX_Ambience/menu.wav");
/*
* audio input to enable sound
*/
private static AudioInputStream ais;
/**
* load sound clip
*/
private static Clip loadClip(String resourceName) {
try {
ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(Audio.class.getResource(resourceName));
DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, ais.getFormat());
Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
clip.open(ais);
return clip;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
/**
* play sound clip
*/
public static void play(Clip clip) {
if (clip != null) {
try {
clip.rewind();
clip.setFramePosition(0);
clip.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
/**
* loop sound
*/
public static void loop(Clip clip, int amount) {
if (clip != null) {
try {
clip.loop(amount);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
/**
* Stop sound
*/
public static void stop(Clip clip) {
clip.stop();
}
and...
/**
* alpha vars
*/
private int alpha = 220;
private final int MIN_ALPHA = 0;
private Color c;
private Rectangle r;
/**
* class importations
*/
private Counter[] delay;
/**
* Constructor
*/
public Intro(GameStateManager gsm) {
super(gsm);
delay = new Counter[3];
delay[0] = new Counter();
delay[1] = new Counter();
delay[2] = new Counter();
}
/**
* Update
*/
public void update() {
Cursor.setCursor(Cursor.INVISIBLE);
}
/**
* Draw
*/
public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
delay[2].count(2);
if (delay[2].bFinished) {
r = new Rectangle(0, 0, GamePanel.WIDTH, GamePanel.HEIGHT);
c = new Color(0, 0, 0, alpha);
g.drawImage(Texture.plogo_01, GamePanel.WIDTH / 2
- Texture.plogo_01.getWidth() / 2, GamePanel.HEIGHT / 2
- Texture.plogo_01.getHeight() / 2, null);
if (alpha != MIN_ALPHA) {
alpha -= 1;
}
else if (alpha == MIN_ALPHA) { // Once faded in...
g.drawImage(Texture.plogo_02, GamePanel.WIDTH / 2
- Texture.plogo_02.getWidth() / 2, GamePanel.HEIGHT / 2
- Texture.plogo_02.getHeight() / 2, null);
delay[0].count(0.005); // set delay time
Audio.play(Audio.glitch); // Play glitch sound
}
if (delay[0].bFinished) { // Once delay time has finished...
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.fill(r);
delay[1].count(3); // set another delay time
if (delay[1].bFinished) {
gsm.setState(GameStateManager.MENU); // change to menu state
return;
}
}
g.setColor(c);
g.fill(r);
}
}
/**
* Key input
*/
public void keyPressed(int key) {
}
public void keyReleased(int key) {
}
I hope someone can help solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

Solved. I added an 'if' statement inside the 'Play' method:
public static void play(Clip clip) {
try {
clip.start();
int MAX_FRAMES = clip.getFrameLength();
if (clip.getFramePosition() == MAX_FRAMES) {
clip.setFramePosition(0);
stop(clip);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return;
}
