I´ve found a snipplet for MediaStore.Images that I think will work for
audio also,

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {

    // can post image
    String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursor cursor = managedQuery( contentUri,
            proj, // Which columns to return
            null,       // WHERE clause; which rows to return (all
rows)
            null,       // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
            null); // Order-by clause (ascending by name)
    int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();

    return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

This way I´m left with two questions:

How can I get the name of the track?
Will any changes to the container also change the data in the real
file?

Tnx
