I have a problem at the moment where my Android app works fine when broadcast to the player, but if I export it as APK and install on the device, the music no longer plays. I have checked the usual suspect (file-name case matches, and no spaces). It is an MP2 being loaded as:


and then later being played in a permanent loop as:


2 steps forward... 1 step back...

It can't be a codec issue as it plays fine when broadcast testing so I'm a bit stumped.

I thought MP2 was the format of choice for Android music - to get around the hefty license fee that comes with MP3? Also, MP3 playback is backwards compatible with layer 1 and 2 so it is automatically supported if MP3 is supported.

Also, it plays fine when broadcast to the player so I don't think it's a format compatibility issue.

I guess I could trim down the tune and save it as WAV, but I'd rather get it working properly.

Did not someone say you should make it mp2, but rename the extension to mp3 ?
