package javax.media does not exist

Question

I am working on an audio player and need to add pause() and play() features in it to connect with JButtons. The problem is I am not able to import Media package as it says package does not exist. I cannot find anywhere it online to download the package. Same goes for AudioPlayer class which gives bad class file error.

Answer 1

you need the JMF libraries , you can get them from there , for windows there is a typic installer :

JMF Download

Answer 2

It is a late answer, but you can use the Maven dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.media/jmf -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.media</groupId>
    <artifactId>jmf</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1e</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

Based on your question,

You can down load java.media

then use

 import javax.media.*;

then you can declare like

Player  audioplayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(file.toURI().toURL());

And

audioplayer.start(); and audioplayer.stop();

Here file means where the source file saved.

NB: you can use JMF jar file

Try like this

try {
                audioplayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(file.toURI().toURL());
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(MY_MP3_PLAYER.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            } catch (NoPlayerException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(MY_MP3_PLAYER.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            } catch (CannotRealizeException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(MY_MP3_PLAYER.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }

OR Try the sample code given below

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.media.CannotRealizeException;
import javax.media.Manager;
import javax.media.NoPlayerException;
import javax.media.Player;

public class Mp3Player {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, NoPlayerException, CannotRealizeException {

    // Source  of song file
    File f=new File("your path in which mp3 file is saved");
    // Create a Player object that realizes the audio
     final Player p=Manager.createRealizedPlayer(f.toURI().toURL());

    // Start the music
      p.start();


   // Create a Scanner object for taking input from cmd
         Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);


   // Read a line and store it in st
         String st=s.nextLine();


   // If user types 's', stop the audio
   if(st.equals("s"))
   {
    p.stop();
   }
   }

 }

Following four packages will solve your problem. They contains most of helpful methods to deal with audio player.

import javazoom.jl.decoder.JavaLayerException;
import javazoom.jl.player.AudioDevice;
import javazoom.jl.player.FactoryRegistry;
import javazoom.jl.player.advanced.AdvancedPlayer;

You can use .stop(), start(), .play() etc. from above packages. Hope that will help.
