android-discuss, Stream a very large mp3?

 Hello,

Is it possible to stream a very large mp3 using MediaPlayer? The mp3 I
am interested in is over 270 mb.

Thanks in advance!

 For the record, here is the code:

 MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();

            player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

            try {

                player.setDataSource(" http://mybigmp3.mp3 ");
                        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e1) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e1.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e1.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IOException e1) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e1.printStackTrace();
                        }
            try {
                                player.prepare();
                        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e.printStackTrace();
                        }
            player.start();


And the logcat:

 've never tried an MP3 that big - it's quite possible that it won't

work. I think the largest file we ever tested was a one hour MP3 mix

file. I think it was about 70 MB.
