How can i add background music to my program?

Question

I am attempting to add background music to my program but when i specify the path to the audio file i get the error message. How else can I specify this(this is going to be sent to another person). So the path cannot be on my system, it must be located in the JAR as well.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {

        AudioPlayer.player.start(audios);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);

    }

}

            Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
                    Main.class.getResource("/images/happy_birthday.jpg"));
            g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), this);
        }
    };
    contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
    contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
    setContentPane(contentPane);
}
}

Answer 1

• Load the clip using an URL rather than a File. By the time of deployment, those resources will likely become an embedded-resource. That being the case, the resource must be accessed by URL instead of File. See the info page for the tag, for a way to form an URL.
• Play the sound using a javax.sound.sampled.Clip (as opposed to undocumented classes in the sun.audio package). See the Java Sound info. page for working source.

Answer 2

InputStream in;
    try {
        in = new FileInputStream(new File("Jock_Jams_-_Are_You_Ready_For_This.wav"));
        AudioStream audios = new AudioStream(in);
        AudioPlayer.player.start(audios);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);

    }

I use this outside of my while loop and it works as long as if you don't mind it not being able to stop.
