Dear Peers,
In short, is it possible to play a webradio stream from an applet, perhaps using the java sound API, al la v1.4 ?
regards,

Ed.

I don't see why not !

Here is a demo and some links :

thanks sedj,
I looked at some fo those link and found this:

http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioDataBuffer.java.html

"how to buffer audio data in memory"

Keeping in mind that I haven't started coding yet, and this question might be a bit premature, but I think the main issue is whether I can play from an unfinished/incomplete file .
Can I play audio from a byte array, or does it need to be a finished file; or can I play from a file that's continuously being written to?
regards,
Ed.

Sorry fella, have no idea ! I guess you'll just have to look at the API.
