Question

If I do this in Javascript I can play the music streak behind the source url. No problem.

var music = new Audio();
var source = http://*HOST*.grooveshark.com/stream.php?streamKey=*STREAMKEY*;
music.src = source;
music.play();

Even better I can have a web control in my WP7 app that does this, and magically I have music playing in the app. However, I want to have audio int he background as well. So I can’t just stream audio in a web browser control.

I need to take the above kind of audio source, but use it in a native Windows Phone app. There seems to be lots of ways, MediaElement, BackgroundAudioPlayer, etc., etc…. but none of them seem to work the the above url. I can pass them a link to an mp3 on a server somewhere and everything goes fine. But I can’t seem to stream audio on a windows phone via a url like this.

Answer 1

Try JavaScript way with Phonegap Media API for Windows Phone

Cordova Media API

and do it look like:

    my_media = new Media("test.mp3", onSuccess, onError);
    function onSuccess() {
        console.log("playAudio():Audio Success");
    }
    // onError Callback 
    //
    function onError(error) {
        alert('code: '    + error.code    + '\n' + 
              'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
    }

Hope this help 🙂
