No expert in this, but if I were wanting to do this, I'd first spend a lot of time with Google. What has it told you so far? What avenues have you explored?

Good luck

Hello,me Milan,a new member to this site.

I think that you need to have link with the dll files to make a audio player.

otherwise you can also search in google for the code.

thank you.

And welcome to JavaRanch, Milan

There are a number of libraries for playing back audio and video - JMF, QuickTime for Java, jVLC, ... The http://faq.javaranch.com/java/OtherOpenSourceProjectsFaq page links to those.

Simple audio playback can be done using the javax.sound package. See http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.sound.sampled/pkg.html for examples.

In the future, please give your posts better subject lines - "JFrames" is rather misleading if you ask about audio/video playback.

JMF also has some support for user interfaces.

javax.media.Player has methods getControlPanelComponent and getVisualComponent for controlling and showing media files. I've been able to play a small movie in Java this way.

I do think that these controls are heavyweight controls, so mixing it with Swing (lightweight controls) may lead to some unexpected results.
