MediaPlayer stutters at start of mp3 playback?

AFAIK the buffers that MediaPlayer creates internally are for storing decompressed samples, not for storing prefetched compressed data. I suspect your stuttering comes from I/O slowness as it loads more MP3 data for decompression.

Depending on your activity workflow, when the MediaPlayer is first initialized you could set the preparation listener and then call mPlayer.prepareAsync() later once you're actually loading the resource, then start playback there. I use something similar, albeit for a network-based streaming resource.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
