You can pass the path around all you want inside your app, but try using a FileDescriptor with MediaPlayer.setDataSource(). You won't have to change the permissions on the file that way (your app can still access the file however it wants, since it owns the file), but it will ensure there are no permissions problems when the file is played by the media server process, since you'll be handing it an open file handle.
