Yes, though you seem to be using terms that I consider to be different things. In your second paragraph, you use the term "downloading". For that, in Android, use either HttpURLConnection or HttpClient to bring down the MP3 files, at which point you have any number of options for playback. In your third paragraph, you use the term "streaming". If you truly mean streaming -- playback in tandem with the download -- MediaPlayer should be able to handle it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
