Java: How to add Sound to Application

[CodeNoob117]

I want to add some background music to a credit line and other parts of the application, but I do not know how to go about such. I tried importing the sun.audio.*; and use the AudioPlayer, AudioStream, etc. however, there is a restriction to the access. Is there any way around this or any other method to add music/sound to the application?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You should be able to play by just using

Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        // getAudioInputStream() also accepts a File or InputStream
        AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.
            getAudioInputStream( url );
        clip.open(ais);
        clip.loop(Clip.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY);
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                // A GUI element to prevent the Clip's daemon Thread
                // from terminating at the end of the main()
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Close to exit!");
            }
        });

Thanks, you helped me a lot, however I am getting this error at the moment: Exception in thread "main" javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input file

I looked through the link you provided(Thank you for doing so) but I did not manage to see any specified files the Clip and Audio classes read. What audio files are allowed or how can I get it to read an "unsupported" file?
Thanks for your help

The types supported are listed by calling AudioSystem.getAudioFileTypes(); To support other formats you can install the JMF mp3 plugin available here :http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ad-137625.html

Thank you. Though my problem persists. I will provide some code for you; if you're willing to continue to help me.

public class Audio {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, UnsupportedAudioFileException, LineUnavailableException{
        Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
         // getAudioInputStream() also accepts a File or InputStream
         AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream((new File("Fanfare for the Common Man.wav")));
         clip.open(ais);
         clip.loop(Clip.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY);
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
         // A GUI element to prevent the Clip's daemon Thread
         // from terminating at the end of the main()
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Close to exit!");
         }
        });
 
}
}
 

I am still getting this as a result: Exception in thread "main" javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input file
at javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getAudioInputStrea m(Unknown Source)
at Game2.Audio.main(Audio.java:30)

Am I doing something wrong? I have tried other methods of adding sound, however I keep hitting the same codeblock. And Thanks for everything.

wav file is a container type. It's possible the file you have could be a container for an unsuppported type in which case you would need to try JMF like I suggested above. First, though try other simple wav files to see if they work, also not sure about those spaces in your file name, try renaming it to a name without spaces just see if that isn't causing a problem too.
