Question

I need to download a mp3 file from a server URL, and then play that mp3 file.
Basically the main motive is to play a remote mp3 file, now there are two options for me, either i stream that file and play it onto media player,

or i first download it and then play it. I am still trying the first one, but with one success, so just thinking on the second alternative.

So if any help can be provided it will be great for me…….
Thanks

Answer 1

MediaPlayer mp=new MediaPlayer();  
mp.setDataSource(url_to_mp3);  
mp.prepareAsync();  
mp.start();    

It’s better to use prepareAsync() than prepare().
