Question

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

Answer 1

I wrote the following code that works fine. But I think it only works with .wav format.

public static synchronized void playSound(final String url) {   new Thread(new Runnable() {   // The wrapper thread is unnecessary, unless it blocks on the   // Clip finishing; see comments.     public void run() {       try {         Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();         AudioInputStream inputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(           Main.class.getResourceAsStream('/path/to/sounds/' + url));         clip.open(inputStream);         clip.start();        } catch (Exception e) {         System.err.println(e.getMessage());       }     }   }).start(); }
