[java] Getting OGG/Mp3 playback...

well it'd help us solve this problem if you told us what doesn't work! do you get any error messages?

javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input file
at javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(AudioSystem.java:786)
at DecodingAudioPlayer.main(DecodingAudioPlayer.java:115)
### cannot read input file: /Users/Hops/Desktop/mp3Test.mp3
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at DecodingAudioPlayer.main(DecodingAudioPlayer.java:125)
Process java exited with code 1

And I have the triton plugins in the class path...

I don't know anything about JOrbis- so I can't really help you there, but if you want to get some MP3s up and running then I can provide you with some source code which shows how to use another API- 'JSmooth'. I'm using this API at the moment for playing some MP3s in the game i'm working on- and it does the job pretty well. Let me know if you're interested..

I am very interested! Anything to get me away from midi and wav files...

No problem, i'll send you on the source code so..

Just a few short steps and you should have it working ( hopefully ! )

1 - Download the JLayer API from: http://www.javazoom.net/javalayer/sources.html
2 - Unzip the download file and place the folder called 'javazoom' in your main class directory.
3 - Call the 'init()' method in the MP3Sound class, from somewhere in your main program This sets up the MP3Player and gets it ready for playing. It also scans a chosen directory for a list of MP3s which you can use for random playback.
4 - Call the 'playSongRandom()' method then to begin playing a random song from the list of MP3s available, there is also another method playSong(String songName) if you want to be more specific and not have a random track play.

That should be it.. The source itself should be mostly self explanatory, but if you have any questions then just let me know.
