Java - Background song to my game (How can I add it)

Question

I'm trying to create a game and I'm currently trying to add sounds to it but due to lack of experience I failed to do so so I'm asking for your help. How can I add a background song to my game?

Do you want certain sounds to trigger when something happens in game or general background music that plays randomly or on a loop? — Peter_James, Nov 18 '13 at 11:25

start a separate thread for playing sound. In this thread play it. In this way your game will be running and at same time you can run the sound.

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();
}

Thank you, I did import that but I can't hear the sound. – MrSilent Nov 18 '13 at 13:19 — MrSilent, Nov 18 '13 at 13:19

public static void music() {  
            AudioPlayer MGP = AudioPlayer.player;  
            AudioStream BGM;  
            AudioData MD;  
            ContinuousAudioDataStream loop = null;  

            try {  
                BGM = new AudioStream(new FileInputStream("som.wav"));  
                MD = BGM.getData();  
                loop = new ContinuousAudioDataStream(MD);  
            } catch(IOException error)  {  
                System.out.println("Error!!!");  

            }  
            MGP.start(loop);  
        }
