Unless you're doing this for the challenge of it, why not start with an open source Java MP3 player that already exists?

actually my idea is a music player through which we can share music files over LAN and even stream music. That's whole idea of my project

[Ulf Dittmer]

In that case, JavaRadioStation might be of interest. It originates from Apple, but should be cross-platform,

Dittmer ,First of all thanks . I think by now I have given you an idea about my project.So, Can you please suggest me which one will suite better for my project i.e a basic music player which allows music files sharing and streaming over LAN, whether I should go with Java Sound API or JMF API.

[Ulf Dittmer]

I've never tried to stream audio, so I can't say which API would be more appropriate. Look at the source of JavaRadioStation to see what it does.

[Ravi Theja]

OK.If there's no streaming ,What would you prefer.
