How to play an audio file from the begin.........
Hello to everybody,
I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
@Override
public void run()
try
if(dataline!=null)
dataline.open(audio_format);
dataline.start();
int i=0;
while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
if(i>0)
dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
dataline.drain();
dataline.stop();
dataline.flush();
dataline=null;
dataline.close();
And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip.

How to read an audio file from the disk and play it?
Do you know who to read an audio file from the hard disk and play it. It's for an application and not an applet. I tried with the Applet.newAudioClip(URL url) thing, but I keep getting a MalformedURLException.
And is there a way to get the path of the file you are using? Currently I'm doing this:
File file = new file("randomname");
string = file.getAbsolutePath();
file.delete();
I'm sure there's a better way. And this is not for an applet, just a normal app.Below is a class that should be of use to you.

Playing the audio file from the point of mark
Hi All, i want to play a audio file from the point of mark.
i have used mark() method to mark but when i play the audio it is still playing the audio from the starting point. please help me.Hi,
Question:
1. You have a folder for each DVD whose video contents you edited.
Answer: Yes
Question:
You talk about projects 34, 35, 36, 37. Are these projects associated with only one specific DVD?
What is supposed to be in each project - just edited VTS_01_1.VOB or edits from the others in the series
such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, etc.
Answer:
Project 34 has edited Premiere Elements file 34 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#34
Project 35 has edited Premiere Elements file 35 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#35
Project 36 has edited Premiere Elements file 36 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#36
etc.
Question:
2. If you screen each DVD video file VOB for a given DVD disc, does the content follow sequentially and cleanly?
Answer:
Yes
When I run the VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc from each project the audio and the video are clean and match.
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created after project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 35, 36, 37 etc. I am getting the audio from project 34
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created before project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 1, 2, all the way to 33. I am getting the correct audio
Thanks,

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
var pos = sym.getPosition();
if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
sym.stop(0);
clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Playing an audio file from applet
Hi friends,
I have a problem to be solved .
Please help me.
I have to play an audio file from applet.When the applet loads it shold start playing .There is a progress bar in the applet it shold alsomove corresponding to that.
How can i do that.Give me an idea.
I know nothing about jmf.
I am using j2sdk1.4,windows 2000 server.Andrew,
Forgive my naivety, but i struggle with JAVA! I am desperately trying to create a JAVA plugin to SERVOY and have to date been successful with a few things. Record, Playback, convert to .spx.
I am really struggling with implementing a rewind and fastforward function of the type you have. I thought it would be easy, but it appears not.
At the bottom is the complete code from my class that is called by the servoy plugin wrapper,
i had thought that adding some simple jump 500 ms would have been easy in something like this:
public AudioStream js_FastForward (AudioStream as) throws IOException {
!!! Line or two here to move the play head forward !!!
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
return as;
Can you give me any pointers to how i code that fast forward bit.
many thanks
David

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
Thank you!That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings. -

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP. -
