I have not tested this on Android 1.5. I wouldn't bother with that release unless you really need to. Most everyone has upgraded their phones to a more recent OS version.

I can't get it to work. I tried to add two different sound tracks in one simple screen app, nothing.... If I have two sound tracks play 1 and play 2, if play 1 is playing, it works fine but if I try to launch the second track, it won't play.

Hi Simon, I somehow made it work with .mp3 and tested your example, works awesome, but in certain cases, i do have playlist files whic are in .smil format and .wvx format, i opened those files in the notepad and found some links to the external ip address where the file of format .asf were there, now i am in jeopardy how do i make that .wvx or .smil playlist work with this code, so it should automatically find the source inside them and starting playing. i am stuck, else work it works fine with example you gave. here is the site which i am talking about

Thank You Si. Would this work with the latest Android OS? Many thanks again.
