Answer 1

First Attempt

AudioClip clip1 = Applet.newAudioClip(new URL(new File("E0.wav").getAbsolutePath())); 

This is not how you construct a URL to a File. Instead, you should use File#getURI#getURL

AudioClip clip1 = Applet.newAudioClip(new File("/full/path/to/audio.wav").toURI().toURL());

Second Attempt

mediafire is returning a html response, not the audio file...You can test it with...

URL url = new URL("http://www.mediafire.com/listen/tok9j9s1hnogj1y/downloads/E0.wav");    
try (InputStream is = url.openStream()) {
    int in = -1;
    while ((in = is.read()) != -1) {
        System.out.print((char)in);
    }
} catch (IOException exp) {
    exp.printStackTrace();
}

Third Attempt

You open the clip, but never start it...

URL url2 = new URL("http://www.villagegeek.com/downloads/webwavs/Austin_Powers_death.wav");
Clip clip2 = AudioSystem.getClip();
AudioInputStream ais2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url2);
clip2.open(ais2);
clip2.start();
