Playing MP3s in java

I am making a simple media player in java, using Borlands latest JBuilder. I have downloaded JMF, but have been unable to get it to work in any way whatsoever, I have tried setting the classpath and everything, but i beleive i am going about it the wrong way complety (change the enviroment var., right? just add what the documentation says to the end of what is already there, correct?) but beyond that, i cant get anything besides a .wav to play. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to convert an mp3 on the fly during runtime, and etc. I have been on javazoom, but the download they give you is just an abstract class, doenst give you definitions on what each method does. thanks for any help

If you can get wav files to play, it's working, I would think...
I think I read somewhere that MP3 support was dropped from JMF due to some licensing issue with whoever made the MP3 codec they were using.
Look here...

Playing MP3 through JAVA in MAC OS.

Hi,
Is there any way to play MP3 files in MAC OS Using JAVA other than the Quick Time Player?.

Not sure if the MP3 plugin for JMF / JavaSound works for MAC, but you could try it...
[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download-137625.html]
With that installed, you should be able to just play an MP3 file as you would any other file...

Hey PhHein,
what brings you back to the JDC(or SDC as its now known)? I havn't seen you leave the "Discuss the JDC Website" forum, since the Water Cooler fell.

Any suggestions ?

Still having problems playing MP3s on Mac OS 10.5

Hi everyone,
I was never able to solve this issue, and moved on to other things, but I'm stumbling over it again. I believe that I have everything set up properly; I put the jmf and mp3 plugin jars in my /Library/Java/Extensions folder, but I am getting this message when I try running java com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Registered succesfully
So does that mean it's properly registered, or is that InvocationTargetException something tats causing a problem. The JMF works fine for everything but mp3s; when I try playing an MP3 file, I get this error:
Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, 44100.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 16000.0 frame rate, FrameSize=32768 bits
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@39b3a2
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@39b3a2
All of the files I've tested worked fine with the JMStudio application that came with the JMF, but when I compiled JMStudio on my system, I got the same results that I describe above.
I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the JMF and the mp3 plugin a couple times now, and then have run the jmfinit binary, and then the jmfregistry binary, and then added and committed the com.sun.media.codec.audio.mp3.JavaDecoder to the Plugins->Codec menu. Again, with the results that I have described above.
Can anyone help?

I have had some success adding the [JMF codec|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/mp3/download.html] to the run-time classpath of the application (or applet).
I did not 'install' any version of the JMF to this Ubuntu system, but separately downloaded the (MP3 codec) Jar and just added it to the classpath (at run-time).
Note there are a number of MP3s that the JMF codec fails to get an input stream from. I recommend anybody attempting this, try it first with an MP3 that has been seen to work using the JMF codec. As such you might..
a) Visit this applet(1), which tries to load/play an MP3. And if that works OK on your Mac., then go to..
b) Visit the [sound section of my media page|http://pscode.org/media/#sound] and download the 'Dead End' MP3 for your own local testing.
(1) The applet Jars are digitally signed. You can safely refuse the digitally signed code and the applet should still work. The applet is still experimental - if you have any problems with it, I would appreciate hearing them. Part a) is effectively an 'acid test' on whether my attempts to play MP3s in applets for Mac users (and other visitors) is successful. If it fails, it might indicate a difference in the way Macs implement the SPI.

Play mp3 file.

Hello world.. :)
I am creating a music syncing app, and i need to know how how to play a MP3 file, is it possible to do it on a different thread so you can start, and stop it at the press of a button, etc. I don't know one thing about threads...
JavaNut13*

If you want to play mp3 file, I think you should use JMF. Here is the link to download JMF 2.1.1e from SUN
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html|JMF 2.1.1e]
You will need to install JMF first to manipulate the following code. You could get it from here:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/MDIApp.java|MDIApp.java]
Eg: You could add mplayer.start(); mplayer.stop() in between the code; and with some 'if else' to create a loop button.

Play MP3 from server

Hello I've he next problem. I need to play mp3 files in my mobile phone that are stored on a server using bluetooth connections. I think i can use streaming or http, but i don't how can i join it with bluetooth connection. I have a lot of ideas but nothing clear.

Are you asking how to use the Bluetooth API? These tutorials should be helpful:

Playing mp3 audio file in Applet?

Hi All,
I'm writing an applet which runs on java plug-in 1.4.
I want to play mp3 in my applet. Can I do that?
If it's can, please show me the good way.
I guess there is a plug-in for java mp3 playing
but the main point here is what plug-in is the best (quality, small in size....),
applet doesn't like a big size code?
Many Thanks,
Long

Thanks for your idea
but if I do that every my friend have to download the jmf plug-in, it's took about 1.8M.
I afraid that my friend will not like this espescially when the network is slow. So is there any java mp3 plug-in which the size is about 100KB, which I can include it in my applet jar file?.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] unable to play mp3 or flac files in mpd, .dts files play fine

I had a perfect running mpd setup before I tried to fiddle around with some dependancies to get xbmc-svn to compile without errors. I installed some AUR packages (ffmpeg-svn, x264-git, libva-sds, libvpx, libid3tag).
After that I started to experience trouble with mpd, it start fine and says it plays audio files just fine but whenever i play a mp3 or flac file the progress bar just looks like it's playing the file but I hear no sound. Whenever I play a .dts file i hear the sound correct.
I'm very curious to why this happends.
I rolled back the packages mentioned above but the issue remains unsolved.
My setup: pc is connected to receiver by hdmi cable using the latest alsa version with digital passthrough over hdmi, currently using mpd-git from AUR

SWF to play mp3 files located on the server

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.
any information of examples would be greatly appreciated.
Peter.

As for loading and playing the files there is no issue. Simply load them as you would load any file. You can even use a relative path if they are in the same folder as the SWF, or a sub-folder that is in the folder with the SWF.
As for looking at the server directory for what files are there, and using them - I know of no way to do this. That doesn't mean it is impossible, just that I haven't come across a method in my experience.
What I typically do is to archive the list of files in an XML file, and load the XML. I know, that adds an extra step, and an extra file, but it is the easiest method for approximating what you want to do.
Let me edit this response.
You could use javascript, or a server language to grab the list of files in the directory and pass it into Flash via the ExternalInterface classes.

ITunes takes a few seconds to start playing MP3 files

I just started using this new MacBook Pro and transfered my music library to the new laptop. I'm having a problem with iTunes playing MP3 files: when I double click on a MP3 track iTunes seems to freeze for like 3 - 4 seconds before the track starts playing and then it plays normally without a hitch. This is happening with each and every MP3 track that I have in the library as well as new MP3 tracks that I'm adding. Th short delay/freeze also occurs when I try to view or alter the info of an MP3 track in the library, so that when I right click on a track and click Get Info, the 'Get Info' screen will take about 3 - 4 seconds to show up and the same freeze happens when I click OK to close the 'Get Info' screen.
Note that this happens only with MP3 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes store (AAC) do not have this problem and start playing without any delay/freeze.
Another weird tidbit: When MP3 tracks are in the same playlist (or album) and I let them play one after another (without me skipping to the next/previous song) then the delay/freeze does not occur at all. This delay seems to just happen when I start playing a song or when I click the fast forward/Rewind buttons to skip to the next/previous track.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? And if a fix is available somewhere? Thanks in advance!

It only happens on mp3s not on AAC's to me too! Just so you all know. I thought an EXTERNAL DRIVE was my problem but after hours of research I found it's probably an intentional bug (just kidding Apple you don't hate other companies that much....geesh! ) It might not be this...but you never know.
I thought maybe it was the TAG but it seems this has nothing to do with it. Point is either Apple left a bug on the last update of itunes MP3s because to them it's less of a priority or it's being messed up by Amazon folders (still looking in to), or maybe there was a problem with the install.
So far my options are to get an MP3 to AAC convertor and dump my 3000 songs into a program for converting, wait for an update, reinstall, or keep looking for a missed solution.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

Safari no longer plays mp3 files (OS X 10.9.5 Safari 7.1). Help!

I have a 6-month-old MacBook Pro (13" Classic) running OS X 10.9.5. I use Safari 99% of the time to browse the web (version 7.1). Quicktime Player 10.3.
All of a sudden (this week), Safari has stopped playing mp3 files. I have always been able to click on a link to an mp3 file and it would play in the browser. Now, this has stopped working. It does open a black page with the audio scroll bar showing. However, the arrow will not respond if I click it and it just says "Loading..." forever.
What's up?!

Force quit Safari and relaunch it while holding down the shift key.

Problems playing mp3s after installing iTunes 7.1

I installed iTunes 7.1 today. After that, I have problems playing mp3 songs on my iPod (80 GB). The AAC-files play well. The mp3 songs can also be played on iPod via iTunes when its connected to my computer, but when I disconnect from the computer, the mp3 songs starts, and play for about 2 second, and then jumps to the end of the song and stop.
Very thankful for any help.

that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

Netstream.play() mp3 file

Hello.
I am having troubles playing an mp3 stream, using
Netstream.play()
According to AS 3.0 livedocs in Adobe...
quote:
To play MP3 files, use mp3: before the stream name. To play
the ID3 tags of MP3 files, use id3: before the stream name
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html)
When I test playing a video stream (.flv), everything works
fine.
The error I get when I try to play an mp3 is:
Failed to play (stream ID: 1) code:
NetConnection.Call.BadVersion
I tried every different type of combinations:
stream.play("mp3:test.mp3"), (test), (test.mp3) and nothing works.
However, only in "mp3:test" I get the Call.BadVersion error. On the
other ones, simply it doesn't play nothing... It finds the file
though... because I get some results in the event handlers that i
don't get when I enter an invalid filename...
My question is... What is "NetConnection.Call.BadVersion",
and is it really possible to play an mp3 stream. Are there other
methods?

Hi,
Just check this url .its good you will get some idea.
