Audio content types

You can play the following audio content types from files:

  • application/vnd.nokia.ringing-tone

  • audio/3gpp(only amr codec)

  • audio/amr

  • audio/amr-wb

  • audio/mid

  • audio/midi

  • audio/mobile-xmf

  • audio/sp-midi

  • audio/x-amr

  • audio/x-mid

  • audio/x-midi

  • audio/mp3

  • audio/mp4(only amr codec)

You can play these content types on the device but not in the SDK:

  • audio/3gpp2

  • audio/aac

  • audio/x-ms-wma

If you attempt to play one of these content types in the SDK, the SDK sends an error message to the Diagnostics log.

The device supports audio capture from its microphone and the FM radio and stores it as audio/amr content. The SDK does not support a microphone. However, it simulates recording from a microphone using pre-recorded content. The SDK does not support recording from the FM radio.

If the content is in stereo, the SDK plays it in stereo on the computer’s sound card. However, the SDK does not emulate the enhanced stereo separation supported on the device.
