JMF vs Javasound (with mp3spi)
Every time I find myself trying to work on Flywire, my first goal is to fix the problems I encounter with mp3 files not detecting the duration properly (and then generally not working at all). I've done a lot of googling and the solution to the problem appears to exist in JLayer/
Basically, JMF mp3 support is poor. Javasound in combination with (or rather overriden by) mp3spi http://
I've tried numerous times over the last year or two to try out my theory, but my Java abilities are average and my patience just hasn't held out. Though I just managed to determine the length of an audio track correctly with mp3spi where JMF failed to realise a player.
I can only imagine this will effect the very core of Flywire, hence why I only did some hacking to prove the concept. While I'd love to tackle this idea, I don't know that I'll be capable.
I also understand that this introduces third party packages into the fold - but from what I can tell, if we want to support modern mp3s, we don't have much to choose from.
