Ess -java.lang.OutOfMemoryErrorwhile loading mp3
Mar 25th, 2007, 6:05pm  
Hi people,
does anybody know if it is even possible to load an mp3 of size cca 13MB via new AudioChannel () ? [ it is stereo recording, dont know if this is important, I've tried to load only left channel anyway, but no luck ]
I've set up the VM to use as minimum 512mb and max 1024mb of memory , still get the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception while constructing new AudioChannel..
I use all support files for mp3 import as suggested on krister's pages on kubuntu
thanx for help!

Try using an AudioStream rather than Channel. For an AudioChannel it has to de-compress the entire mp3 into memory.. and it could easily end up as about 150meg when decompressed. An AudioStream will only load small chunks at a time as and when needed.
