I have heard that sun micro system has launched a system called Java Media Framework API (JMF). It supports various media types such as AVI, MIDI, MP2, MP3*, GSM,MPEG-1 etc.etc. Moreover they say that it supports streaming.

Your problem appears to be solved, but I just wanted to correct a mistake in the previous post. The Java Media Framework cannot play wma files, along with wmv and any other microsoft based media file. Due to the fact that Microsoft is a competitor of Sun, Sun has choosen to omit support for most microsoft file types.
