first do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and if you get stuck, post a screenshot of your relevant blocks

the first screenshot does not make sense.

the 2nd screenshot is fine if you have short sound snippets, only the Sound.Play block is missing...

the 3rd screenshot is fine, if you have larger sound files, but here the Player.Play block is missing...

hope that helps

Thank you i knew i had it right i was just missing the player.play thank you sooo soo much this really helped i love MIT app inventor and i love how there are people like you to help us out thank you .

here is a screen shot of the working blocks

I added an accelerometer component and also a player component then i loaded all the sounds and to make it easier I named them 1-18 since i had 18 sound files I also put the player component to source none and take a look at the blocks it really works im doing this for future new comers
