Unable to play an audio clip

Question

Currently I am working on a project. The project contains sounds, and I'm having trouble attempting to play them.

private void playSound(){
    try{
        AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(this.getClass().getResource("delta/client/gui/resources/sound/ClipOfSound.mp3"));
        Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        clip.open(audioIn);
        clip.start();
    }catch(Exception err){
        err.printStackTrace();
    }
}

It gives me a NullPointerException. The path is correct, I've checked it multiple times. I don't know what the problem is.. and any help is much apprecitated.

Answer 1

AudioInputStream is not compatible with MP3 type files.
