newbie memory management

Xcode 3.1, Leopard, Intel, garbage collector

My program acts like a jukebox sometimes, playing one cut after another.
Every time it starts a new one, the memory usage (as reported by
ActivityMonitor) goes up by the size of the cut's sound file. And after
not too long, my program ends up in swap and loses control of things.

I've tried setting the pointer to the NSSound to nil and manually
triggering the garbage collector, but that seems to have no effect at
all. The only way I can find to get rid of the playlist is to abort the
program and relaunch it.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
