Hey guys, how about a little brainstorming?

I have developed an application in Java which is a tool to help
with the study of the Italian language. It simulates flash cards,
but it also gives a complete conjugation of all verbs in its
vocabulary. You can also supply a search key of: verb, noun, or
adjective and whichever one you supply that will be the only part
of speech returned by the program.

Unfortunately for most people on this list, the base language is
Spanish. But that shouldn`t hinder a technical discussion. Two
radio buttons determine whether the Italian side of the card or
the Spanish side of the card is displayed first.

I am toying with the idea of adding a function to the program
to click on a button which will cause an audio file to be played
demonstrating the pronunciation of the currently displayed word.

Surely this is possible, right?

Wouldn`t .mp3 format be the best?

use ogg vorbis -- mp3 is proprietaty and requires a license/fees.

Ogg Vorbis is a patent-clear, fully open general purpose audio encoding
format standard that rivals or surpasses the `upcoming` generation of
proprietary coders (AAC and TwinVQ, also known as VQF).

libvorbis, a BSD-licensed source implementation of Vorbis as a library
is available; See the Ogg Vorbis page <http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/>
(http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/)for documentation, downloads and
distribution terms.

Further, many players support Ogg Vorbis; see vorbis.com
<http://www.vorbis.com/> for a list of all the players we know about.

http://www.vorbis.com/
Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio
encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source.

Thank you Mr. Ogg Vorbis Salesman. Actually, I was going to recommend Ogg
Vorbis, but without copy/pasting lines from a brochure.... :)

The problem I see is that you recommend libs for Ogg Vorbis which have nothing
to do with Java coding, they`re for C programs. Can you point us to a Java Ogg
Vorbis jar or some kind of Java code?

yep ... look into something called JMF (Java Media Framework) ... Go to
www.javaworld.com and search for jmf

Hope that helps,

PMFI, but I have found J-Ogg at http://www.j-ogg.de/

The brochure says ( :-P)

"J-Ogg is a collection of Java libraries for reading Ogg files and
decoding different contained formats. At the moment the support for
Vorbis and FLAC is almost complete (the library decodes all files
created by the current versions of libvorbis and libflac
correctly) ...<snip>"

.... I don`t know how useful it is. I also came across

VorbisSPI at http://www.javazoom.net/vorbisspi/vorbisspi.html

Both appear to be open source or at least LGPL.

Hope this helps,

no salesman. I`ve not had cause to utilize ogg vorbis either, I am just
aware of it and what it`s intent is. And cutting and pasting from the
sites is much faster than typing it all out. I didn`t post java sites
cause I didn`t look for them --- figured that the information supplied
would be enough to point anyone interested in the right direction (
also, since the encoding would occur prior to application delivery, i
didn`t think it would matter if the encoder was not java ) anyways...

http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/
http://www.javazoom.net/jlgui/sources.html

google could probably come up with a few more.
