URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("filenamme.mp3"); AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url); // Get a sound clip resource. Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip(); // Open audio clip and load samples from the audio input stream. clip.open(audioIn); clip.start(); } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (LineUnavailableException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { new SoundClipTest(); } }
