Player player = Manager.createPlayer(new MediaLocator(new File(con[found+1]).toURL().toExternalForm()));
Time t = player.getDuration();
Double time = t.getSeconds() / 60;
System.out.println(time);

they are an import from the JMF (Java Media Framework) package that you download from sun. Basically it is a big package full of media tools for playing animations, mp3's, movies etc. The import i used for the player and what not are:

import javax.media.*;

Hello painkiller102, I suggest you check out this link as the tutorial there includes how you can get the playback duration in microseconds and the you will have to convert it to minutes on your own, furthermore is shows you some nifty methods that could be used such the rate, audio type, name of the song/artist etc... : http://www.onjava.co...mp3.html?page=2

Hope this helps, good luck

Player player = Manager.createPlayer(new MediaLocator(new File(con[found+1]).toURL().toExternalForm()));
Time t = player.getDuration();
Double time = t.getSeconds() / 60;
System.out.println(time);

though this thread is so old,i like to share my experience with this prob!!
I used createRealizedPlayer method of Manager class instead..

Player player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(new MediaLocator(new File(con[found+1]).toURL().toExternalForm()));
