Play MP3 in jar file

[Fintan Conway]

Hi all,

I have an application that plays an MP3 song.

I have package the app into a jar, and included the MP3 song in the jar.

I would like the jarred app to pick up the MP3 song from the jar and play it from there, rather than having to include the MP3 file separately with the application. Is this possible?

I have found lots of ways to play "sampled audio" songs (wav, etc.) like this, but I cannot get it to work with an MP3 file.

I have also tried the following using the Java Media Framework (JMF), i.e. javax.media.* packages.

String resource = file;
		url = this.getClass().getResource(resource);
//		url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(resource); 

			MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator(url);
			player = Manager.createPlayer(ml);
			player.addControllerListener(new ControllerListener() {
				public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent event) {
					if (event instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {
						player.stop();
						player.close();
					}
				}
			});
			player.realize();
			player.start();

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried the JMF MP3 plugin?

Hi Wouter,

I have downloaded this and installed it. However I cannot find any documentation on how to use it within my code. Do you have any links/suggestions on how to code using this mp3plugin.jar?

Many thanks

Have you googled 'JMF javadoc'? I found information right away.

I've used BasicPlayer in a little demo console MP3 player application once. JLayer is also an often advised library.

Hi John,

I have tried this. Unfortunately there is no information on how to programmatically play an MP3 file, using either JMF or the MP3 plugin. I could find no javadocs for the mp3 plugin.

Could you post links to where you found sample code / javadocs for coding to play MP3 files please?

Many thanks,

Fintan

Lighten up.... He's trying the first idea presented.

And if that doesn't work you don't try the next suggestion? I certainly would.
