How can I play sound in Java?

Question

I want to be able to play sound files in my program. Where should I look?

Answer 1

There is an alternative to importing the sound files which works in both applets and applications: convert the audio files into .java files and simply use them in your code.

I have developed a tool which makes this process a lot easier. It simplifies the Java Sound API quite a bit.
