How can I play module music (.it, .mod, .xm or .s3m files) in a Java application? (Standar开发者_开发百科d Java for desktop machines)

I tried looking at the open source JavaMod, but it had too many files so I didn't know where to start, and the pre-built .jar file wouldn't even run on my machine.

Add javamod.jar to the application class path and try with this code:

public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        Helpers.registerAllClasses();
        File music = new File("c:\\test3.XM");
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_ISP, "3");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_STEREO, "2");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_WIDESTEREOMIX, "FALSE");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_NOISEREDUCTION, "FALSE");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_NOLOOPS, "FALSE");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_MEGABASS, "TRUE");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_BITSPERSAMPLE, "16");
        props.setProperty(ModContainer.PROPERTY_PLAYER_FREQUENCY, "48000");
        MultimediaContainerManager.configureContainer(props);
        URL modUrl = music.toURI().toURL();
        MultimediaContainer multimediaContainer = MultimediaContainerManager.getMultimediaContainer(modUrl);
        Mixer mixer = multimediaContainer.createNewMixer();
        mixer.startPlayback();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(3);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

Works fine for me. But I would also suggest to try running javamod stand-alone in order to make sure it works on your system.

To get JavaMod to run on your machine, you have to run it with the java -jar command.

This screenshot illustrates how to do this:

Whoa, cool that JavaMod even exists to play old school modules in Java. I doubt you're going to find much better support these days. Honestly you're best bet is probably going to be to figure out how to call into that library, or just use the source code directly. You'll likely have to look through the code to determine how to integrate with it. By the way, I'm able to run it fine by just double clicking on the .jar file (I'm using Java 6 Update 24 on Windows 7).
