I am unable to open mp3 files directly from its location in S60. When I am opening an mp3 file directly I am getting some text. Always I have to go to player and open files from that location. Please help.
Thanx in Advance.

Would you specify more the problem: what is the location, what text you're getting?

If you want to play media files, here is a good doc to start with
MIDP: Mobile Media API Developer's Guide v2.1
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._1_en.pdf.html

If this does not solve your problem, please explain in detail. Which phone are you trying with?

Gopal

Sir,
I am using S60 3rd edition emulator. When I am storing songs in songs folder (C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK_FP1\bin\epoc32\winscw\c\Data\Sounds\Digital), I am unable to access the songs from songs folder. Its displaying text (ex: IDE/TENC Adobe Photoshop CS 2 Windows 2007:01:24......) probably same thing may happen when we open an mp3 in image viewer.
I have kept the songs in songs folder but still its displaying some code.
Kindly help.

The path should be like file:///C:/Data/Sounds/Digital/
How are you opening the MP3 file? Hope you are trying with Manager.createPlayer()

Sir,
I am able to play the file directly now. The problem was with the Manager.createPlayer()
If u can please tell me what I have to do to go for a multiple selection of songs and play them.
Thanx and regards

Do you mean playing multiple players in the same time? Which phone are you trying with ?

Mixing support was introduced in S60 3rd Edition. In older S60 Editions only one player was able
to play at a time. With the MMAPI this is expressed by a notification that mixing is not supported. The
support can be checked from the system property supports.mixing, which returns a boolean value
true if the mixing is supported. When mixing is not supported and two players are started sequentially,
the last call for the start method will cause the first player to stop and the second to start (not in the
Series 40 platform).

Sir,
I am using a file browser and I have stored mp3 files in a location. I am able to see the mp3 files. Now, I want to select some mp3 files and play in a single player. I want to play one file at a time not all files.
