Play MP3 files usng Java API

Question

How can we make Java play an MP3 file for us ?

import sun.audio.*;
import java.io.*;

class tester {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
  InputStream in=new FileInputStream("tester.mp3");
  AudioStream as=new AudioStream(in);
  AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
 }
}

This is the code I am trying to run but I get the below mentioned error :

I don't believe the java AudioStream class supports mp3 natively. According to this link it only supports AIFF, AU and WAV. You'll have to look into using another library to load and play an mp3 file.

String file="SOME//SONGFILE//PATH";
       FileInputStream fis     = new FileInputStream(file);
       BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
       player = new Player(bis);

       player.play();

The jar folders you must have: mp3plugin.jar and jlayer.jar (do google)

This site describes how to play a mp3 file in Java

Hope it helps!!

If not then its recommended to join our Java training class and learn about Java in detail.

Thank You!!
