Im learning windows phone 8 development recently. And started developing music player that plays from phone library. I used MediaLibrary API to get all songs,albums and its working fine now.

What is the problme now is i've assigned MediaPlayer_MediaStateChanged,and MediaPlayer_ActiveSongChanged to mediaplayer object. It triggers when i change the songs that are displayed in longListSelector. That events are not firing when i press next or prev button that i get when I press volume button.

Hope You understood what is the problem. I tried using backgroundPlayerAgent and got to know that doesn support MediaLibrary. And I saw this question also. But i saw few apps that are able to listen to those prev/next button events. If you know what am i missing please help?? Is there any other third party libraries available?? I've searched lot in web but i dint get any usefull information. SO posting this question thinking that i might get some information

  • Is that BackgroundAudioPlayer you've used or what? Did you try [this](http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Background-Audio-Player-b5f70b13) sample from msdn! – Kulasangar Jul 22 '14 at 15:37
  • Ya i've tried that. But BackgroundAudioPlayer doesnt take SongCollection. – Archana Jul 23 '14 at 04:49
  • SongCollection in the sense? You mean a a LIst? – Kulasangar Jul 23 '14 at 04:52
  • SongCollection is collection of objects of type Song. That I'll get from this code MediaLibrary library = new MediaLibrary(); SongCollection _Songs = library.Songs; – Archana Jul 23 '14 at 04:57
  • Just check this thread which addresses the same problem with the SOngCollection: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/7eab9a96-0107-4453-aa76-30adbb281ebb/backgroundaudioplayer-and-medialibrary-integration?forum=wpdevelop – Kulasangar Jul 23 '14 at 05:02

  1. Go to Settings > Music

  2. Search for Filter audio files

  3. set audio files By Size....
