i am using jlayer to play mp3 files in my progam but in the jlayer documentation i could not find any useful info about stopping the playing music and continuing from where it was stopped. any ideas?
my program is as follows:
package sounds;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import javazoom.jl.player.Player;

public class MP3 {
private String filename;
private Player player;
/**

* #param filename name of input file
*/
public MP3(String filename) {
this.filename = filename;
}
/**
* Creates a new Player
*/
public void play() {
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(this.filename);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
this.player = new Player(bis);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.printf("%s\n", e.getMessage());
}
new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
player.play();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.printf("%s\n", e.getMessage());
}
}
}.start();
}
/**
* Closes the Player
*/
public void close() {
if (this.player != null) {
this.player.close();
}
}

public static void playMaenam() {
MP3 mp3 = new MP3("./01 Maenam.mp3");
mp3.play();
while (true) {
if (mp3.player.isComplete()) {
mp3.close();
mp3.play();
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

You could suspend its thread for a simple pause function.

Answer 2

Just play one frame at a time in the thread, if the "pause" flag is set, then pause the thread...
The code below pauses/resumes the player thread if enter key is pressed (in console) and "exit" to terminate the application.
final AtomicBoolean pause = new AtomicBoolean(false);
final Player player = new Player(bis);
Thread playerThread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
while (player.play(1)) {
if(pause.get()) {
LockSupport.park();
}
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.printf("%s\n", e.getMessage());
}
}
};
playerThread.start();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String s = null;
while (!(s = scanner.nextLine()).equals("exit")) {
if (s.isEmpty()) {
pause.set(!pause.get());
if (!pause.get()) {
LockSupport.unpark(playerThread);
}
}
}
System.exit(0);

Answer 3

I get my mp3's from a fileInputStream. When I want to pause, I do (fis is the fileinputstream) fis.available() (or something similar). This gives how many bytes left in the stream... If you do this before it starts, you get the total length. So total left - amount currently left = Current position. Then i just create a new inputstream and do fis.skip(theamount); to resume.. Aweful method but yeah it works..
