Mediaplayer dosn't play mp3 from SDCard or inernal Memory

Hello,
i have posted this allready in the german forum, but no response. I have made a small modification to the Mediaplayer-Example, load an mp3 from SDCard or internal memory instead of midi from apk. This would not work. For example
Mediaplayer1.Load(File.DirRootExternal, "Name.mp3") gives Error: Java.io.IOExeption: Prepare failed.:status=0x1.
Same Error when load from internal Memory.

MP3-File is on root of SDCard. Wenn load from apk it plays well. Also other players play it from SDCard. What could be wrong?

The program does work, so there must be something else, probably the name of the file is not exactly the same. Check case.

Thanks David,

now it works, but: it was'nt the filename. Documentation says:

File.DirRootExternal
The storage card root folder.

File.DirRootExternal returns: /mnt/storage

On my device (Archos 70 IT), when i check details with filemanager, it says path is "/mnt/storage/sdcard/name.mp3"

So on my device i had to add /sdcard to the path. Maby this is impotant because i can attach other devices via usb-adapter, for example a HD?
