dealing with files that minim can't play
Mar 24th, 2010, 11:06am  
hiya, i'm using minim to try and play unprepared files from my computer (e.g. i don't know if they're compatible with minim etc.) but if the filename is wrong or minim can't play the file when you call loadFile, rather than throwing an exception (the sensible thing to do) there's an null pointer and the applet stops dead. is there any way to get round this? am i missing something obvious?

cheers,

rob

so given this (from an example), what exactly is happening?

player = minim.loadFile("groove.mp3", 2048);

does this line throw a null pointer exception? (in which case put a try catch around it) or is it setting player to null? (in which case check for it before you use player)
