Thanks for the investigation @sc0ttdav3y This matches my findings, the external root directory `/storage/emulated/0/` (or it may be a `/sdcard` path if your device has a real external storage) is no longer writable starting in API 29/30. API offered an escape hatch, but today you must target API 30. The problematic line is https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/blob/e29fcc6355d8a07413feea46fcc78f05b78ce52f/src/android/AudioPlayer.java#L112 If external media is mounted (which virtually all phones have external media due to emulation, hence the `/storage/emulated` name), it will attempt to write to it's root directory. Personally, I'm not sure on the original rationale. We should never write to an external medium unless explicitly requested. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
