Q: Playing Live streamed audio through Java Are there any java libraries out there that can handle live streamed audio such as an internet radio stream that can then be played back using Java?
I've looked into stuff like Xuggler/FFMpeg but I'm not sure if they can handle the fact that I'm just trying to play a live stream.
It would have to be able to handle most/all of the formats that internet radio stations usually stream in.
Thanks a lot.

A: You can have a look at JMF - Java Media Framework

On the Wikipedia site is also a list of alternatives:

*Jffmpeg

*jvlc

*vlcj

*gstreamer-java
