Audio Delivery to Multiple Platforms

[paolo mazza]

Hi Brahmanathaswami,
as far as I know in desktop computer you can not play mp3 files as audio clips.
Using the "play audio clip" command you have to use  WAV or AIFF  format .
Although according LC documentation this command work also in Linux
desktop computer, as far as I know it doesn't.
If you want to play mp3 files in desktop computers MAC and windows you
have to use the player.

Conversely in apps for mobile devices (android or iOS)  you can play
an mp3 audio file using command  "play soundFile" .

This command uses the built-in sound playback facilities on the device
and works both in Android and in iOS devices.

I will send to you a sample file.

All the best,

Paolo Mazza
