I have been programing java for a while now and i have finaly needed to learn how to play sounds. I have looked all over the internet on how to do this and i have found a lot of stuff. I'm trying to work with one code that i found wich is much like this

import java.applet.*;

AudioClip sound = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(), "file.mp3");

i have tryed this but for some reason getCodeBase() will not work. If you can help me fix this or you know a better way to play audio files in an application.

Have you tried running the class file in cmd to make sure its not a code or syntax error?

ok I got a hold of someone and now I got it fix. But thanks for the help

Could you post your solution for future users who may run into the same problem?

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.*;

class name {
URL codeBase, fullpath;
AudioClip soundclip;

public void name(){
try {
codeBase = new URL("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/");
fullpath = new URL(codeBase, "soundclipname.wav");
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
soundclip = Applet.newAudioClip(fullpath);
}
//To Play
soundclip.play();
//To Loop
soundclip.loop();
//To Stop
soundclip.stop();
}

From what i have found you can only use *.au and *.wav files *.mp3 will not work. I haven't yet tryed any other file types yet. I think that is all the import statments needed not sure. I have only tested this as an application. So try it in an applet. Give feed back if it works and if other file types will play. You must also call the meathod at least once before you try and play the soundclip or you will get nullpointerexception errors. Try it out and see what you get.
