## DESCRIPTION
JLayer is a library that decodes/plays/converts MPEG 1/2/2.5 Layer 1/2/3
(i.e. MP3) in real time for the Javatm platform. This is a non-commercial project
and anyone can add his contribution. JLayer is licensed under LGPL (see [LICENSE](LICENSE)).

## FAQ
- How to install JLayer?
Before running JLayer you must set `PATH` and `CLASSPATH` for Java
and you must add jl1.0.1.jar to the `CLASSPATH`.

- Do I need JMF to run JLayer player?
No, JMF is not required. You just need a JVM JavaSound 1.0 compliant.
(i.e. JVM1.3 or higher).

- How to run the MP3TOWAV converter?
`java javazoom.jl.converter.jlc -v -p output.wav yourfile.mp3`
> Note: MP3TOWAV converter should work under jdk1.1.x or higher

- How to run the simple MP3 player?
`java javazoom.jl.player.jlp localfile.mp3`
or
`java javazoom.jl.player.jlp -url http://www.aserver.com/remotefile.mp3`
> Note: MP3 simple player only works under JVM that supports JavaSound 1.0 (i.e JDK1.3.x+)

- How to run the advanced (threaded) MP3 player?
`java javazoom.jl.player.advanced.jlap localfile.mp3`

- Does simple MP3 player support streaming?
Yes, use the following command to play music from stream:
`java javazoom.jl.player.jlp -url http://www.shoutcastserver.com:8000`
(If JLayer returns without playing SHOUTcast stream then it might mean
that the server expect a winamp like "User-Agent" in HTTP request).

- Does JLayer support MPEG 2.5?
Yes, it works fine for all files generated with LAME.

- Does JLayer support VBR?
Yes, It supports VBRI and XING VBR header too.

- How to get ID3v1 or ID3v2 tags from JLayer API?
The API provides a getRawID3v2() method to get an InputStream on ID3v2 frames.

- How to skip frames to have a seek feature?
See javazoom.jl.player.advanced.jlap source to learn how to skip frames.

- How much memory/CPU JLayer needs to run?
Here are our benchmark notes:
+ Heap use range:
* 1380KB to 1900KB - 370 classes loaded.
+ Footprint:
* ~8MB under WinNT4/Win2K + J2SE 1.3 (Hotspot).
* ~10MB under WinNT4/Win2K + J2SE 1.4.1 (Hotspot).
+ CPU usage:
* ~12% under PIII 800Mhz/WinNT4+J2SE 1.3 (Hotspot).
* ~8% under PIII 1Ghz/Win2K+J2SE 1.3.1 (Hotspot).
* ~12% under PIII 1Ghz/Win2K+J2SE 1.4.1 (Hotspot).
* ~1% under PIII 1Ghz/Win2K+J2SE 1.5.0 (Hotspot).

## KNOWN PROBLEMS
99% of MP3 plays well with JLayer but some (1%) return an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException`
while playing. It might come from invalid audio frames.
Workaround: Just `try/catch` `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` in your code to
skip non-detected invalid frames.
