Player

Multimedia component that plays audio and controls phone vibration. The name of a multimedia field is specified in the Source property, which can be set in the Designer or in the Blocks Editor. The length of time for a vibration is specified in the Blocks Editor in milliseconds (thousandths of a second).

For supported audio formats, see Android Supported Media Formats.

This component is best for long sound files, such as songs, while the Sound component is more efficient for short files, such as sound effects.
