Question

I’m trying to create an application to play short sound clips that are found online. I can’t put them on the client so they need to be played from the internet. I am able to play sounds using a MediaElement but only when the sound clip is found on the phone. How can I make it download an play a sound clip from the web?

Answer 1

MediaElement can be used for this. You should use the Source property.

<MediaElement x:Name="Media" Source="http://www.domain.com/song"/>

You can set the source from code as well

Media.Source = new Uri("http://www.domain.com/song");
Media.Play();
