Help me play an audio file in my GUI

Hi
I've been having some trouble getting code to play an audio file in my GUI
Basically all I want to do is play a file in the same directory as the program, and have it loop. No controls, no buttons to change the play state.
Could someone point me to or help me implement this with some example code? I'm really stuck and I'm just not sure how to implement it into the existing GUI class.
Thanks for any help

Hi
I've done so, and the method gets called without any problems, but doesnt play anything.
Have a look -
public void audioFile()
    try {
        // From file
        AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("test.wav"));
        // From URL
        //stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new URL("http://hostname/audiofile"));
        // At present, ALAW and ULAW encodings must be converted
        // to PCM_SIGNED before it can be played
        AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
        if (format.getEncoding() != AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED) {
            format = new AudioFormat(
                    AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED,
                    format.getSampleRate(),
                    format.getSampleSizeInBits()*2,
                    format.getChannels(),
                    format.getFrameSize()*2,
                    format.getFrameRate(),
                    true);        // big endian
            stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(format, stream);
        // Create the clip
        DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(
            Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
        Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
        // This method does not return until the audio file is completely loaded
        clip.open(stream);
        // Start playing
        clip.start();
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) {
    } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
    } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {

Confused, need help regarding a MPG audio file

I have some video and the sound is not that good however I used my Marantz recorder using a CF card. The quality if very good on the card. The file is 1003.MPG around 250 MB. I have imported my video into Imovie and I thought I could just drag or import this MPG file into the audio and edit. It starts off like it will import and then nothing. I even imported the 1003.MPG file into Itunes hoping I could bring it in through Itunes. No luck. I am not sure what an MPG files but it doesn't appear to be an audio file that I need to import into I movie. When I double click on the file it opens in QT and I can play it there. What am I missing and what do I need to do in order to get it into Imovie so I can match up with video.
Thanks
Bob

Hi SDillini. I looked at your link and saw all the options I should have had. For some reason I have not been able to figure out as of yet it only gave me the two which I listed above. If I would have had all the options which were listed I would have been on easy street. I finally got it converted over, thanks to my son but now I have even a bigger problem. Worked on some video for about 7 hours and Imovie started just shutting down every so often. I would continue to save every 5 minutes. Now the last time it quit I tried to open and the clips showed up but nothing in the timeline. It looks like it wants to start however I get the spinning ball and after about 3 or 4 minutes it just shuts down. I have tried to put all the folders linked with that movie into a new Imovie project and I also tried to to import everything in to FCP. All I get is the clips I was not going to use with nothing I have edited going into the timeline or clip file. This has been a very difficult project and due tomorrow. If I can't figure this out fast I will start all over today and make an all nighter out of it. I may try a new post to possibly get some help on new problem.
Thanks for the info.

Help adding multiple HTML5 audio files to a single web page

Hello!
I'm designing a site in Adobe muse for a composer. I've been able to get a single audio clip to play in all browsers, however, when I try to add a second clip to the same page I run into a problem. The second clip won't play in Chrome unless I click on the first clip.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

Hi MacUser 123, I'm just a amateur-hacker but I do have some experience with audio and video players and HTML 5.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think allowing the browser to supply an audio player has its limitations. I would guess that it would not allow you to have multiple players on one page, I'm not surprised by this. Also one of the biggest problems with audio and video players is that each browser type is different, and requires different file types. You have the right idea in your source code by using mpegs, oggs and MP3s.
In my experience I have found with audio, that it's best to have a "player" embedded in the webpage. I have had success over the years with players sometimes known as jukeboxes. There are quite of few players available out there from companies like Allweb, Pickle Player, etc., there's a whole bunch of them. I think you might want to do a search and come up with something that you think will work for you. It can get very complicated; you're going to have to deal with CSS, cascading style sheets, and some code situations.
I'm not sure if there are any quick fast fixes. I like "Pickle Player," but it's shaky, as a lot of this software is. I wish I could be more positive, but I have found it's just a long journey full of hit and miss, trial and error.
If you think audio players are problematic, wait to you get to video players - I've spent months trying to get those things working.
The experts are either way to sophisticated in their knowledge-base for me, or they are so inexperienced that they are no help at all.
Good luck, you're going to need it, if I can be of any further help let me know.
Maybe someone out there has some better ideas for you, but that's about it for me, that's the limitation of my experience and knowledge.

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

The audio file can not be changed! - help

I really need help. I just installed Logic Express 8, and I tried to import a song in order to edit it (as a lead in music bed for a podcast). Every song I import in says I am unable to edit it - "The audio file can not be changed! Volume or file is locked."
How do I unlock the file/volume in order to edit t? This is the only reason why I purchased Logic and if I cannot do this I spent a lot of money for no reason. Please help.

OK, basics first..
if the audio was 'bought' from itunes or some other download, it could have some kind of 'digital rights management' (DRM) on it. So you won't be able to edit anything, it's protected. Nothing you can do there.
Also make sure it isn't already open in another application that might be 'holding on' to it.
However, it could be something simple to do with protections on the file itself.
Locate the music file you imported on your harddisk click on it once so it is highlighted, now press cmd-i, or select file menu and 'get info'.
There are some settings here where one can 'lock' a file. There is a check box under the 'general' section that needs to be unchecked, there is also a 'permissions' section at the bottom of the 'info' window of the file.
Make sure you have read and write permissions.

Spltting an MP3 song or other audio files. PLEASE HELP!

Hi, guys. I dont even know if I am discussing this under the right category but I hope someone can help. I have a Mac Pro, which I just acquired. I have been used to Window PCs all my life. I am trying to see if there is a way I can split a large audio file (MP3 song) into a smaller clip on the Mac. I don't even mind if this means I have to download an additional program. I am trying to use an audio track I already converted into an MP3 version as a ring tone on my phone. But I don't like the way the song starts from the beginning. I am trying to create a 1-minute audio clip out of the long track and use that. I'll appreciate all the advice I can get.

hey there Dr. Tee & welcome to Discussions.
you could try to do this w/ GarageBand. open GB, import or drag in the file, cut out the parts you don't want, from Toolbar menu, "Share" ringtone to iTunes.
good luck.

.MTS Audio Files help needed

I'm having a little trouble with editing.
The footage I am editing are .MTS files. Both the audio and video.
The video is playing fine (well, as best it can for my rubbish uni computers) but I am having trouble hearing the audio - and I'm getting lots of conforming errors.
I read here that CS4 doesn't support .MTS audio files. If that's the case then why can I hear some of them and not the others?
Should I be converting the audio into another format before editing? If so, then what's the best format to convert to, and how can I do it in a way that I don't have to strip the audio from the video (I want to keep them perfectly synced)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nath

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply, that's an interesting article. The files I am editing are stored on an external hard drive - I tried deleting a few files on there to make some room (whilst I was in the editing suite) and it wouldn't let me delete them because it said I didn't have administrator permission - despite this being my own hard drive. Could that be causing a problem with conforming? Should I copy the files accross onto the internal drive? The scratch disks are set to the local D drive.
Nath
Ps: I've just downloaded a program which is converting the .MTS files into .MOV. I don't really want to do this as this will probably loose quality - but I'm trying everything! What would be the optimum file type to convert to?

Having trouble with a audio file. Need help please!

Hello.
This may sound funny and not to related to any of this at first, but if anyone here knows about the game portal, then they know about the ARG that went on during last week and may even still be continuing. None of thats really important but if anyone cares to know, basically VALVe released a new update with 30 new sounds, 26 of them moarse code/sstv pictures. 3 of them called dinosaur_fizzle 1 2 and 3. Infact, each one was named dino_1 dino_2 and so on.
The main sound that no ones been able to crack is called Dinosaur_noise. Its obvious there are voices in it and its some sort of major clue, this file is way out of league with the other ones. No ones solved it 100% or cleaned it enough to make basically anything audible.
Now this started March 1st. Since then i have worked hours on the audio file. I have gotten close, but not close enough.
Thats why im turning to someone here, that can do a through analysis of the audio that adobe or reaper just cannot do.
In the attachments is the original file itself with no editing what so ever.
Heres some collected data.
Frequencies of interest
An analysis was undertaken to find the strongest frequencies acting within "dinosaur_noise". Linear and Logarithmic curves showed sets of dominant figures, with the most being:
Frequency (Hz)
Comments
9092
Largest spike before silence
7862
Very faint
7812
Very faint
7657
Very faint
7502
Largest spike in the 4000-9000Hz band
3502
various noise between 3502 and 3510
360
Another very visible wave. This was the most pronounced visible wave in the Logarithmic scale
35
The most dominant low frequency wave
There are a few standout segments, not of voice data underneath, but visible clicks or something happening about 5 times. These could be indications of splices or other manipulations going on. The largest noticed broad-spectrum spikes were:
Time(in samples)
Comments
55402
First broad spike
422931
Second broad spike
751643
Third broad spike
1081537
Fourth broad spike
1110841
Fifth broad spike
Silence in the frequency ranges is located in the band of 10.567 - 15.337 KHz. All frequencies above that are likely to be high frequency poinoning from the FFT process.
Heres what i know personally.
-Noise reduction makes it a lot worse and adds strange harmonics and artifacts.
-Most filters do the same.
-Clear voice around 15 that says THATS AMAZING.
If anyone cares to help I would appreciate it so much.

LabVIEW has a sound and vibration toolkit. Do you have that? Do you have LabVIEW?
The forum is made up of volunteers who will help others with their LabVIEW problems. But you need to have a specific problem and ask clear questions.
What you are asking for is very unclear. Why do you even want to do a "thorough analysis of the audio"? No one is going to do your project for you.

Error while playing an audio file. Please help!

Hi all,
I'm trying to transfer an audio file from server to client and play it after transferring the whole file. But the play command opens up the player and gives me the error saying the file is corrupted. I see that some of the lines in the copied file are missing when compared with the original file. I couldnt understand why this is happening in a TCP connection. Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm posting my code so that you can tell where am I going wrong
//Server side writing file to client socket
do
i = fin.read();
if(i!=-1) outToClient.writeByte(i);
if(i == -1) outToClient.writeByte(-1);
} while(i!=-1);
//Client side reading file and playing it
DataInputStream inFromServer3 = new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
do
b = inFromServer3.readByte();
if(b != -1) fout.write(b);
if(b == -1)
end_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
break;
}while(b !=-1);
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe /Play c:\\inf612\\612P1\\tcp2.wav");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());

HT3775 I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

Hi James,
I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information. You only have the option of listening. I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward. After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster. Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long. Thanks for your help.

Premiere Pro only plays half of audio file. PLEASE HELP

Hey,
I'm editing a music video on a Mac desktop (os 10.7.5, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7) using premiere pro cs6.
There was no issue at first, but now the audio file (mp3) has become faulty. Only the first half will play (with waveforms) and the second half the waveforms go flat and there is just silence. I've tried reimporting it, rendering the audio file, rendering the whole project everything.
At first it wasn't working at all but I literally just moved the audio file to a different audio slot and it started playing an extra few seconds but that's it. File plays in everything else perfectly fine, but once it's brought in to premiere it partially flatlines.
Any ideas what I could try?
Thanks,
-Hugh
