Alan,
Thank you for the info. I know of the mobileSound items... but, it doesn't have all the commands we need. For example, there is no method to start (or change) the sounds play position, or poll the sound for the current position.
My client wants to make a music playing app. Need to replicate a music player... so, we need to keep our [custom] transport in sync with the sound. Stop, Start, Pause, Scrub, update current time and time remaining, etc. EASY on desktop, can't seem to do this on mobile with LiveCode.

Hi Dan,
Check out mobilePlaySoundOnChannel in the dictionary and the related commands linked to it.
Don't think there's a player command for mobile, though I may have missed it...!
HTH
cheers,
Alan
