Play an mp3 with SDL2

gistfile1.c

#include "SDL2/SDL.h"
#include "SDL2/SDL_mixer.h"

static const char *MY_COOL_MP3 = "cool_tunes.mp3";

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int result = 0;
    int flags = MIX_INIT_MP3;

    if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO) < 0) {
        printf("Failed to init SDL\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    if (flags != (result = Mix_Init(flags))) {
        printf("Could not initialize mixer (result: %d).\n", result);
        printf("Mix_Init: %s\n", Mix_GetError());
        exit(1);
    }

    Mix_OpenAudio(22050, AUDIO_S16SYS, 2, 640);
    Mix_Music *music = Mix_LoadMUS(MY_COOL_MP3);
    Mix_PlayMusic(music, 1);

    while (!SDL_QuitRequested()) {
        SDL_Delay(250);
    }

    Mix_FreeMusic(music);
    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;
}

Should not you call Mix_Quit () ??

Hi all,
This bug is conclusively linked to calling Mix_Init before Mix_OpenAudio as detailed here:
https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/bug-sdl2-mixer-init-error-format-support-not-available/23705/2
Reverse the order of calls solved my problem

I assume SDL_mixer doesn't support iOS' hardware mp3 decoding?

it would be best to get the sample rate best way is to read the first few bytes of the file pretty sure if it is incorrect it can sound slow or too fast

That's don't work here, don't know why. But I can compile it.
