what would be the best way to play music in the background?
should i use a service for that?

A might have misunderstood your question, but I built what turned out to be an excellent MP3 player by taking the well known background location tracking example and replacing the GPS functions with a MediaPlayer.

actually, that thread has an background music player by @Erel for android:

Background task

I'm struggling to create a background task using Tracker as a guide. I have a simple music player that we like but of course it stops when the screen goes off. Where should my Process Globals/Globals and all subs go? Particularly what happens to what was Activity_Create ?
