Java sound

Java Sound is a Java - programming interface for input and output of audio - and MIDI data. Compared to the Java Media Framework (JMF), which also enables the recording and playback of audio, it is closer to the system and offers additional options for direct sound manipulation or more controlled buffering of audio playback , for example . APIs that also deal with sound, e.g. B. Java Speech , could implement the Java Sound API and build on it.

application areas

• Communication systems, e.g. B. Telephony, conference
• End-user applications such as media cast members or applications that enable streaming
• interactive application programs such as games and websites that use dynamic content
• Creation and editing of content
• Utilities , toolkits

Packages

• Application developer

  javax.sound.sampled

  specifies interfaces for recording and playback, as well as for mixing digital sound

  javax.sound.midi

  specifies interfaces for MIDI synthesis , sequencing and the transport of events

• Internet service providers
  javax.sound.sampled.spi and javax.sound.midi.spi to create additional services such as
  • Audio mixer
  • MIDI synthesizer
  • Parsers that can read and write a new type of audio or MIDI data
  • Converter for translation between different audio file formats
