You can only play a single file at a time. You can handle the Completed event to load the next file and play it.

You have a list of all your music, correct?

You can start and play a single song, correct?

I'm assuming you are using MediaPlayer, correct?

When you initialize the MediaPlayer, you gave it an event name, correct?

Once the currently playing song completes, a sub is called by the MediaPlayer. In this sub, you will start your next song.

For a simple example:

Dim MP As MediaPlayer
MP.Initialize2("MP")      ' Very Important!! You HAVE to use initialize2 to handle the complete event!!
MP.Load("MP3", "Song1.mp3")
MP.Play

Once the song completes, it will call Sub MP_Complete (or whatever event name you give it with _Complete as the suffix). In this sub, you load and play the next song.

Sub MP_Complete

MP.Load("MP3", "Song2.mp3")
MP.Play

End Sub

It's up to you on how you want to determine and keep track of which song will be played next. This post just has the basics of playing one song after the next. Good Luck!

Use the MediaBrowser library to list all the audio files on your device.

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/lib-mediabrowser.19121/

If this is for your own use and you will always know where the MP3 files are located, just read the directory and parse the file names.

Sub MP_Complete

MP.Load("MP3", "Song2.mp3")  ' <-- Change THIS to play the next song on the list.
MP.Play

End Sub

Here you are a simple example.

You need to create a directory called "musica" in DirRootExternal, and put the file songs in it.
To play from the SD card you need to change the "DirRootExternal" to the sd directory. Search in the forum were is located (I think it's "/mnt/external_sd") but it depends on your device.

Good luck.

@JoanRPM: Your example is nice. However,
x = Rnd(0, lstFiles.Size-1) should be: x = Rnd(0, lstFiles.Size). Otherwise , you will always be eliminating one of your files from the play list.

Otherwise , you will always be eliminating one of your files from the play list.

Exact the last entry of the playlist will NOT play (the 1st parameter of RND is INCLUSIVE, the 2nd is EXCLUSIVE)

Yes, you are right.
