LinuxQuestions.org - playing a midi file in java

Since you did not post any code and I don't feel like writing a midi player (you need threads, sequencers, etc), I will give you the basic idea. If you are going for a command line player (For example, to start your application like this: midiplayer <song.mid>), then do something like this:

Code:

public class Main {



    public static void main(String[] args) {

        if (args.length != 1) {

            System.out.println("Usage: java midiplayer <filename>");

        } else {

            MidiPlayer midiPlayer = new MidiPlayer(args[0]);

        }

    }

}

MidiPlayer is the code you have. Make two separated classes: One for the player one for the Mainclass. On the Player's constructor, you will pass the song name (a String).

If you post some code I could give you a hand :)
