Help me play an audio file in my GUI

Question

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) {
}
