Load it from anywhere
URL url = new URL("http://....../ping.wav");
or load it from your classpath:
URL url = getClass().getResource("/..../ping.wav");
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
Yes, I know it is a method of class Applet. But because it is a
static method, it should be possible to call it from outside an
applet, too. See also

a.net.URL)

> just for the beggining of the program??

Call
clip.play();

> or it can play all the time?

Call
clip.loop();

public static void main ( String[] args )
{
URL url = new URL("http://marvin.kset.org/~babo/sound/tada.wav");

//URL url =
getClass().getResource("file:c:/windows/Media/ping.wav");
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
clip.loop();
}

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation
problems:
    URL cannot be resolved to a type
    URL cannot be resolved to a type

It seems you forgot
import java.net.URL;

By the way:
The above line doesn't make sense. Either you mean
URL url = new URL("file:///c:/windows/Media/ping.wav");
or
URL url = new URL("file:/c:/windows/Media/ping.wav");
or
URL url = getClass().getResource("/com/yourcompany/media/ping.wav");
(assuming your .wav file is located besides the .class files of package
"com.yourcompany.media")
