The Jukebox Challenge

Design a modern jukebox that allows users to listen to live-streamed music.

There are many tracks available on the jukebox. So, whether you're behind the wheel, working out, partying, or relaxing, the right music is always at your fingertips. You can also browse through the artists and celebrities or create a playlist and sit back.

In this challenge, you will design a modern jukebox that contains songs by various artists.

Task #1

This jukebox must contain a catalog of songs by various artists.

Add different genres of music to the catalog. The songs must be in the .wav or .mp4 format.

The catalog can be categorized based on the album's artist, genre, or name.

The jukebox should display all the songs available in the catalog.

The user must be able to search for music based on any of the categories mentioned in the third bullet.

Once a category is specified, an alphabetical search can be offered to the user to locate the music they are looking for.

Task #2

The jukebox should allow a user to create a playlist of songs.

Allow a user to add a song or album to the created playlist.

The user should be able to create multiple playlists and view the contents of the playlists.

Task #3

The design of the modern jukebox is now completed. A user should now be able to play songs from the created playlists.

Display all the songs in the playlist along with the name of the song, album name (if any), and the song's duration in a tabular format.

The user must be able to play any song from the playlist.

The song playing displays the time remaining (in mm:ss format) and presents the list of songs queued for playing.

The user must be able to perform the reverse, forward, pause, resume, and shuffle or loop play of the songs in the playlist.

Hint: Use the AudioInputStream class to play the songs. Search on Oracles website
