audio file comparison (java)

I'd like to make a comparison between two audio files based on their sample size (number of bits per sample)

I'm wondering if this code statement is correct:

AudioInputStream clip1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile1);
AudioInputStream clip2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile2);

        // check sample size    
        if (clip1.getSampleSizeInBits() != clip2.getSampleSizeInBits()) {

        ...do something
              }

I get this error (repeated twice): cannot find symbol symbol : method getSampleSizeInBits()

What should I do?

Actually what I want to do is to check the difference , so if they have differen开发者_开发问答t sample size , the user should get a warning message.

Thanks for your help

getSampleSizeInBits is a method of AudioFormat, not AudioInputStream. You can get the appropriate AudioFormat from the getFormat method of AudioInputStream, so the code should read:

clip1.getFormat().getSampleSizeInBits()
