using sound files in programs



Hi everyone,
As an old Amos Pro basic for Amiga programmer, I've decided to go back to coding, after giving up, 12 years ago.
I don't know which of the following languages would suit best my project : Visual Basic (6 or .net), Java or even php.
Here's what I have in mind : create a program that plays a short sound sampls (2 seconds max.) and the asks the user to match it with 4 possible sound files (he'd have to click on 4 icons, linked to a different sound sample).
It's in fact a sort of music test.
I'd like to know who could tell me which language would be best-suited (and would be the easiest to use), knowing that I'm a very rusty programmer (but a very strong-willed one too !). I'd also like to know if there's any coding available which could import and manipulate sound samples. I've even thought of plugins which would use external players like winamp or windows media player.
Many thanks in advance for your kind and precious help or at least for your comments.
Thierry
