Hi there. I'm trying to read folders and files on a CD using Java. I'm always having an error of "Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Input/output error". Can someone teach me the steps in reading CD content in Java? I'm on OS Linux. Thanks.
Hi Caroline,
At first you should mount a directory which user is accessing in OS linux. You can mount it like following :
Process MountSpace = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command)
And after that try to open the file which you want to access, i.e like this
File cd = new File( "/dev/SR0/tk1.mp3" );

Hope this will help.
Thanks.
This is the correct way to list all files in a directory. Replace [PATH] with your desired directory:
Path dir = …;
try (DirectoryStream[PATH] stream = Files.newDirectoryStream(dir)) {
    for (Path file: stream) {
          System.out.println(file.getFileName());
    }
} catch (IOException | DirectoryIteratorException x) {
     // IOException can never be thrown by the iteration.
     // In this snippet, it can only be thrown by newDirectoryStream. System.err.println(x); }
New versions of Java include specialized ways to list contents of a directory in more ways.
