public class MusicPlayer extends Thread implements ActionListener {

    JLabel label;
    AudioInputStream ai;

    JComboBox playlist;
    JButton play, loop, stop, open;
    JFrame f;
    String dest, str;
    JTextField tf;
    URL u;
    File file;

    MusicPlayer() {
        f = new JFrame("Music Player");
        f.setLayout(null);
        f.setSize(620, 300);
        f.setVisible(true);
        tf = new JTextField();
        tf.setBounds(25, 50, 565, 40);
        tf.setFont(new Font("Monotype Corsiva", Font.BOLD, 20));
        f.add(tf);
        tf.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
        play = new JButton("play");
        play.setBounds(100, 150, 120, 30);
        play.addActionListener(this);
        f.add(play);

            if (sng.toLowerCase().endsWith(s1)) {
                tf.setText(sng);
                file = new File(dest);
            } else {

                c.start();
            } catch (Exception e) {

        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new MusicPlayer();
    }
}

Have you tried to use some other methods from the AudioSystem class ? Instead of streaming a file, may be an input stream ? Did you try to use this method : 'static AudioInputStream getAudioInputStream(AudioFormat targetFormat, AudioInputStream sourceStream) Obtains an audio input stream of the indicated format, by converting the provided audio input stream.' — happybuddha, Mar 08 '13 at 19:34
And from the docs, UnsupportedAudioFileException - if the stream does not point to valid audio file data recognized by the system. Are you sure you are getting the correct handle ? Can you put a debug point and see if the path is correct ? — happybuddha, Mar 08 '13 at 19:36
@happybuddha i dont exactly know how to use AudioInput stream method correctly... if u would b soo kind and help me out in that.. it would be great.. cn u frmt the code accordingly nd den pasete if dats nt a problem ? — Udit Raizada, Mar 09 '13 at 06:08

By default, MP3 implementation isn't provided. If you don't have an implementation of MP3 SPI, UnsupportedAudioFileException will be thrown. Try this plugin and it should work!

Also, this article is pretty good and has detailed instructions about how to get you started.

See also the explanation in the [Java Sound tag Wiki](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/javasound/info) re 'SPI'. – Andrew Thompson Mar 09 '13 at 12:05

If you are using Java7, you can use the built-in Media and MediaPlayer classes to playback MP3s.

Take a look at Playing .mp3 and .wav in Java? for more details.
