Nokia 2610 unable to run audio files

[alam.sher]

Hello Experts!

I am having issue playing an audio file (packaged with jar) on Nokia 2610. I can run the same app normally on my Nokia E51 and other sets as well.

I tried with wav file and got the error:

invalidcontent type audio/x-wav

then i tried an mp3 file and got the error:

invalidcontent type audio/mpeg

error is thrown while executing following lines of code:

player = Manager.createPlayer( getClass().getResourceAsStream(file2), "audio/mpeg")

Same application works on other nokia phones then why not on this?

Please advise me, i am in a deep trouble.

Thanks,
Alam Sher

The Nokia 2610 only supports AMR and MIDI format for audio.

You can ask the device what content-types it will support.

String[] mimeTypes = Manager.getSupportedContentTypes(null);

When you create a Player, you must use one of the types from that list.

Be aware that, just because a device supports a particular type, does not mean it will support all forms of that type. For example, a device might play WAVs, but might only play 8kHz, mono, 8bit. It might play MIDI, but only MIDI-0, not MIDI-1. Some experimentation is needed.

You cannot necessarily play from Java all the formats that the device's media player supports.
