Looping audio?

Hi.
I wonder if there's an easy way of looping audio, currently i use a timer that's on the same lenght as the audio/song, the timer then starts then song again. I've tried adding "ContinuousAudioDataStream" to my code, but i'm getting some weird errors. I'm probably just doing the coding wrong, so if someone could tell me how to add ContinuousAudioDataStream properly, then tell me :)

Also, is there a way to stop the audio completely, reseting it. If i use "AudioPlayer.player.stop()" it simply stops the song on that certain spot and if i call AudioPlayer.play.start() it starts from the same location of the song..

EDIT:Is there a simple way to decrease the volume of the audio from within the java application/program?

Currently i'm using this:

Code:

---

public void music() throws IOException{
        Toolkit tk = this.getToolkit();
        InputStream sond = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/BGMUSIC2.WAV");
        AudioStream as = new AudioStream(sond);
                AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
        }

---

Code:

---

public void loop() {
      stop();
      if (theData == null) open();
      if (theData != null) {
        ContinuousAudioDataStream cads = new ContinuousAudioDataStream
 (theData);
        AudioPlayer.player.start(cads);
        nowPlaying = cads;
      }
    }

I didn't quite understand your coding there ozzyman, could you possibly explain abit more detailed?

What is an AudioPlayer? It is not a class in the standard core distribution.

kind regards,

AudioPlayer is what it sounds like, it simply plays Audio, the exact way on how it's working i don't really know. I googled around to add sound, i found this was the easiest way of doing it.

So you're using a third party library. Why don't you stick to the available core libraries, e.g. a AudioClip can easily to what you want.

Third party library, i'm not familiar with that, it sounds like something you download, but i haven't. Anyway, if you say that this piece of code is that, then allright. And i've been trying with audio clips aswell, but i didn't get it to work. Will you be kind enough to post a small code example? Or a link to a good tutorial?

I'd simply do something like this:

Code:

---

AudioClip clip= Applet.newAudioClip(urlOfAudioFile);
clip.play();
// or this:
clip.loop();
// or this:
clip.stop();
