Sound file switching method and apparatus

The invention provides a sound file switching method. The method comprises the following steps: in response to a play instruction, playing a sound file; determining whether input fingerprint information is consistent with preset fingerprint information; if the input fingerprint information is consistent with the preset fingerprint information, determining whether a shaking degree is greater than a preset threshold; and if the shaking degree is greater than the preset threshold, switching the played sound file, wherein cooperation with fingerprints is quite important for the purpose of preventing various maloperation. According to the scheme, mobile phone song switching is carried out through combination of swinging and fingerprint identification, the problem of incapability of swinging song switching during motion is avoided, while a simple song switching mode is maintained, accuracy control of the song switching is improved through the fingerprint identification, the song switching effect is good, and the me
