Play music

[carderne]

I've created a simple music management program, that imports iTunes playlists, allows you to make playlists and smart playlists and remove duplicates etc.

I want to know if it will be at all possible for me, with very limited Java knowledge to actually allow my program to play music? Is there an existing java class or something?

Thanks

Yes, java can play some sound files.

very limited Java knowledge

It make take some work. There are probably several example programs around if you Search for them.

Would you mind having a quick look at the link I uploaded. Do you think it would be possible to integrate music playing into that?

I say very limited Java knowledge, but I can do stuff. Just not much in comparison with everyone who really knows what they're doing.

I will try some Googling.

You might want to use the Java Media Framework (JMF) to play media in your java application. This is an extension of the Sun JDK and can be downloaded at:
java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html

You can find several implementations on the internet. JMF supports at least MP3 where I know of but you can add extra codecs to expand the supported formats.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
