Playing a Song from a URI

Demonstrates how to use the MediaPlayer to play a song from a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

The following steps show you how to play an .mp3 song located on the Internet.

Declare a new instance of Uri using the full URI path to the song.

Copy

Uri uriStreaming = new Uri("http://www.archive.org/download/gd1977-05-08.shure57.stevenson.29303.flac16/gd1977-05-08d02t06_vbr.mp3");

Use the FromUri method to supply an arbitrary string name for the URI, and then pass the Uri object you created in the previous step.
C#
Copy
Song song = Song.FromUri("StreamingUri", uriStreaming);
Play the song.
C#
Copy
MediaPlayer.Play(song);
