mp3 playing in JAVA..

[13lade619]

so in the midst of all my exams in my other classes,
my professor gave us or final project in programming...

to make an MP3 player in java..

Using Swing for GUI and other stuff.

he said we should search the internet for some JAVA libraries to play MP3 files.

do you guys know of any good ones?

Unfotunatly, JMF does not support MP3 files. This would probally be the thing I'd use: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/introcs/faq/mp3/mp3.html.

If you want to get a better grade, try to use the nimbus look and feel.

It's, the one I find the very best of all. (com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.);

well i have some experience with graphics/art..

do you think it'll be better to use images than the preset buttons?

is it possible to change an image component as the mouse hovers on it?..

> Use what you wish to use for your project. Using custom interface will certainly give you more points. But if you put more time on the UI and that the MP3 player sucks, you will loose more than you gained.

Sample: Mouse not over: black, Mouse over: white.

package ui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class T extends JFrame {

    public T() {
        this.setSize(200, 100);
        this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        final JButton b = new JButton("a Button");
        b.setForeground(Color.black);
        b.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                b.setBackground(Color.white);
            }
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
                b.setBackground(Color.black);
            }
        });
        this.add(b);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new T();
    }

}
