Last question (I hope) about the audio module

[lothaekor]

From the Python for Nokia Series 60 documentation, it states that the audio module typically supports WAV, AMR, MIDI, MP3 and AAC file formats. WAV works fine, but I can't seem to get MIDI or MP3 to work. It always terminates with the following error:

SymbianError: [Errno -18] KErrNotReady

Does this mean that the file is not loaded for playback yet? If so, how do I wait for it? I've heard of other problems where if the file isn't encoded _just right_ it'll crash as well.

Any help anyone can offer will be much appreciated.

The applicable code is below.

        # Open and play the file.
    	self.sound_obj = Sound.open(item)
    	self.sound_obj.play()

Same counts for me, while .wav works like a charm, no .mp3 playback in Python 1.2 on my n-gage.
Comments? Help?

Have a look at table located at:

This thread has also some information:

Some devices do not support MP3 playing natively (from C++), which is what PyS60 builds on.

Thx a lot!
It would be nice to add this piece of advice to the API Reference - at least in the PythonforSeries60_for_1stEd_FP1 Package.
