  • 0

I am wishing to seamlessly loop mp3’s for an app written in MonoTouch using the AVAudioPlayer and cannot find any examples on how to achieve this. I have found a great library at http://gamua.com/blog/2012/05/gapless-mp3-audio-on-ios/ however it is written for objective c.

I wish for the audio to continue to play even when the device is locked and have played around with the AudioSession initilizer but failed to have this working also.

I am not able to find examples or libraries to assist in achieving results.

    For queuing up songs without any spaces in between, make sure to use AVQueuePlayer, it allows you to pre-load songs. If you just want to loop the same song, just set NumberOfLoops to 0 on AVAudioPlayer and it will loop forever.

    For playing audio in the background, you also need to declare UIBackgroundModes in your Info.plist. See this guy’s article here. He’s using Obj-C, but you should be able to port his code to MonoTouch.
