Playing .mp3 and .wav in Java?

Question

How can I play an .mp3 and a .wav file in my Java application? I am using Swing. I tried looking on the internet, for something like this example:<

Answer 1

To give the readers another alternative, I am suggesting JACo MP3 Player library, a cross platform java mp3 player.

Features:

• very low CPU usage (~2%)
• incredible small library (~90KB)
• doesn't need JMF (Java Media Framework)
• easy to integrate in any application
• easy to integrate in any web page (as applet).

For a complete list of its methods and attributes you can check its documentation here.

Sample code:

import jaco.mp3.player.MP3Player;
import java.io.File;

public class Example1 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new MP3Player(new File("test.mp3")).play();
  }
}

For more details, I created a simple tutorial here that includes a downloadable sourcecode.

Answer 2

I wrote a pure java mp3 player: mp3transform.

Answer 3

Using standard javax.sound API, a single Maven dependency, completely Open Source (Java 7 or later required), this should be able to play most WAVs, OGG Vorbis and MP3 files:

pom.xml:

 <!-- 
    We have to explicitly instruct Maven to use tritonus-share 0.3.7-2 
    and NOT 0.3.7-1, otherwise vorbisspi won't work.
   -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.soundlibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>tritonus-share</artifactId>
  <version>0.3.7-2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.soundlibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>mp3spi</artifactId>
  <version>1.9.5-1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.soundlibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>vorbisspi</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.3-1</version>
</dependency>

Code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine.Info;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException;

import static javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream;
import static javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED;

public class AudioFilePlayer {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final AudioFilePlayer player = new AudioFilePlayer ();
        player.play("something.mp3");
        player.play("something.ogg");
    }
 
    public void play(String filePath) {
        final File file = new File(filePath);
 
        try (final AudioInputStream in = getAudioInputStream(file)) {
             
            final AudioFormat outFormat = getOutFormat(in.getFormat());
            final Info info = new Info(SourceDataLine.class, outFormat);
 
            try (final SourceDataLine line =
                     (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info)) {
 
                if (line != null) {
                    line.open(outFormat);
                    line.start();
                    stream(getAudioInputStream(outFormat, in), line);
                    line.drain();
                    line.stop();
                }
            }
 
        } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException 
               | LineUnavailableException 
               | IOException e) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(e);
        }
    }
 
    private AudioFormat getOutFormat(AudioFormat inFormat) {
        final int ch = inFormat.getChannels();

        final float rate = inFormat.getSampleRate();
        return new AudioFormat(PCM_SIGNED, rate, 16, ch, ch * 2, rate, false);
    }
 
    private void stream(AudioInputStream in, SourceDataLine line) 
        throws IOException {
        final byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        for (int n = 0; n != -1; n = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) {
            line.write(buffer, 0, n);
        }
    }
}

Answer 4

Do a search of freshmeat.net for JAVE (stands for Java Audio Video Encoder) Library (link here). It's a library for these kinds of things. I don't know if Java has a native mp3 function.

You will probably need to wrap the mp3 function and the wav function together, using inheritance and a simple wrapper function, if you want one method to run both types of files.

Answer 5

Java FX has Media and MediaPlayer classes which will play mp3 files.

Example code:

String bip = "bip.mp3";
Media hit = new Media(new File(bip).toURI().toString());
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(hit);
mediaPlayer.play();

You will need the following import statements:

import java.io.File;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;

Answer 6

Use this library: import sun.audio.*;

public void Sound(String Path){
    try{
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(Path));
        AudioStream audios = new AudioStream(in);
        AudioPlayer.player.start(audios);
    }
    catch(Exception e){}
}
