    Default MP3 problems

    well, ive come across another problem. I was getting tired of all these stupid media players that are out right now... WMP has glitches, and will add your music twice to the library, and the way i wanna play my music is it loads the entire library into memory(the String of the path names, of course!), and then play it in ascending artist and album track number(basically, chronological order)... and if wanna listen to another song, then i can just click on it... unlike media players like jaangle, which its completely playlists. so, since im quite a skilled programmer, i decided to make my own based off of JLayer. which turned out great for me, because i dont know how to write one from scratch... but thats still not perfect, and i wrote a very simple gui, and right now(the problem), ive been writing a pause feature... cause thats not built into JLayer. well, guess what... it doesnt work. itll play music..(one...song...at...a...time...)but the pause feature doesnt. so, ima post the code below... hopefully you can help me(its the full program, btw)

    When comparing Strings use the equals method. The == operator is for primitives.

    oh, thats not the problem... thats just event handling... that works fine... but somehow the transferrance of the number of where the player needs to restart, is not getting sent back to the main program...

    Have you tried debugging the code by adding printlns to show how the contents of the variable changes as it is set and what its value is when it is used?

    Where did you find this player class?

    I mean, the package javazoom.jl.player.*.

    I can't figure out how to get it in JGrasp (my Eclispe got screwed up because I once imported all of the beta Java 7.0 into a program and it made it go really slow. Also, I tried fixing a problem that caused programs to stay at the same stage, whether or not I added new stuff, whether good or error, it still compiled at that same spot. So I tried to fix it and now NOTHING will work there. So I've been using JGrasp for a while. I also once was able to import acm package so I've done the package import thing before, but I've forgotten as it's been over a year since I did whatever I did to import it.)

    As for your code, I don't have the API for that package, but is there anything that will "unpause" it?

    I mean, will it not pause at all or will it pause but then never restart? You just said that the pause thing "didn't work".
