Hi all,


I was thinking of a way to play audio in java. I am using NetBeans, so it did not take me more than five (Ctrl-Space) until I figured out the way.


Today we will discuss creating of simple audio player which can play a (WAV) file.


There are many ways to play audio in java. The method we will use is depending on JavaSoundAudioClip. This method originally supports three audio format, wav, aif and au.

For more formats you may go looking for java sound api examples.


JavaSoundAudioClip implements AudioClip interface with other useful interfaces. This makes things easier for programmers. Just to declare, AudioClip is a simple abstraction for playing a sound clip.


Before jumping to the code, we should design the logic of our program. Our program can has those features:

  • User can select audio file to play
  • User can play/stop the audio

Simple design can look like this

design

Code of our program:


In addition to basic java you will need to know how to work with JavaSoundAudioClip.


You can create JavaSoundAudioClip using the following java code:


JavaSoundAudioClip myAudioClip = new JavaSoundAudioClip(new FileInputStream(new File(“pathToFile”)));

Then to start/stop playing the audio you need the following java code:

myAudioClip.play();
myAudioClip.stop();

you may download a copy of the project from here:
SimplePlayer


all the best :)
