MagicAudioPlayer is a Java library used for playing audio in Java programs including JavaFX application. It supports such uncompressed audio formats as WAV, AIFF, AU and raw PCM. Moreover, if you use it in your JavaFX application, it may also support compressed audio formats like MP3 and AAC.

AudioPlayer interface is in the org.magiclen.magicaudioplayer package. It can help you create and control your audio player.

To create an AudioPlayer instance, you can use new operator to create the object of its subclass: TraditionalPlayer and FXPlayer. But I recommend you to use the static method createPlayer in AudioPlayer interface because you don't need to know what type of instance it is.

The audio source can be a file or an url.

For example, to load an audio file whose path is /home/magiclen/test.wav, you can write this code as below,

File audioFile = new File("/home/magiclen/test.wav");
AudioPlayer player = AudioPlayer.createPlayer(audioFile);

After initializing an AudioPlayer instance, you can use its play method to play it.

player.play();

The playing of audio is asynchronous, and it will be halted immediately when the java program finishes. You can use its waitForPlaying method to let your program wait for its playing.

player.waitForPlaying();
// The code below the waiting method won't execute until the player stops or pauses playing.

There are also pause, stop, playOver, setPlayCount, setVolume, setBalance, setAudioPosition you can use.

If you want to know the event of opening, starting(playing), stopping(pausing) and closing, you can use the setStatusChangedListener method to listen that.

player.setStatusChangedListener((previousStatus, currentStatus) -> {
    switch (currentStatus) {
        case OPEN:
            break;
        case START:
            break;
        case STOP:
            break;
        case CLOSE:
            break;
    }
});

To test whether your audio can be played or not, you can execute MagicAudioPlayer from your command line in your system.

For example, to test an audio file whose path is /home/magiclen/test.wav, you can run this command as below,

java -jar MagicAudioPlayer.jar '/home/magiclen/test.wav'

If MagicAudioPlayer in your environment supports this audio file, you will hear the sound!
