Minim - createInput on the file loader object:null

elo

Hello!

Following code creates after every fourth, new startet file this error:

==== JavaSound Minim Error ==== ==== Error invoking createInput on the file loader object: null

CODE:

import processing.serial.*;
import ddf.minim.*;


// The serial port:
Serial myPort;

// Audio player Objects
Minim minim;
AudioPlayer player;

// Input String Serial Port
String dataReading = "";

String playlist[] = {"19_Adler_Taste A1_B1.mp3",
"19_Adler_Taste C1_D1.mp3",
"19_Adler_Taste G1_H1.mp3", 
"09_Bahnho_fli_Taste L1_M1.mp3",
"09_Bahnho_fli_Taste N1_P109.mp3",
"09_Bahnho_fli_Taste Q1_R1.mp3",
"09_Bahnho_fli_Taste S1_T1.mp3"
};

int counter = 0;

boolean newone = false;

//Setup routine
void setup() {

  //Size of Frame equal to screen size
  size(100, 100);

  //background black, value in RGB
  background(0);

  // Open the port you are using at the rate you want:
  //println(Serial.list());
  myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[0], 9600); 
  //read stream until carriage return
  myPort.bufferUntil('\n'); 
  //we pass this to Minim so that it can load files from the data directory
  minim = new Minim(this);

  player = minim.loadFile("19_Adler_Taste A1_B1.mp3");
}
//Draw routine 
void draw() {

  if(newone == true){

    println(dataReading);

    if (counter >= 7){
      counter = 0;
    }

    playSong(playlist[counter++]); 

    newone = false;      
    }
  }

//Serial Event Routine 
void serialEvent(Serial myPort) {
  dataReading = myPort.readString();
   if(dataReading!=null){
     //clear current view
     //set flag for draw routine
     newone = true;           
   } 
}

void playSong(String Filename) 
{    
  if(Filename.length() > 0){

    if(player.isPlaying()){
      player.close();
      minim.stop();
    }


    print("play new..");
    print(Filename);

    player = minim.loadFile(Filename);
    player.play(); 
  }
}

Any ideas?

first of all, I'd load all files into an Array songs[] in setup[]

and then play from there

maybe you have a typo in your 4th file?
