This Java Swing tip illustrates a method of programming your own Java Media Player to play media files. A Java Media Framework player fundamentally is an encapsulation of the multimedia component that allows for control of state transitions during playback. JMF players provide methods to query the current state, to acquire necessary resources, and to start, stop, and control the actual playback of the media file or stream.
