Opening audio in native app

Here's my situation: On the server I need to generate a dynamic html list of links to mp3 URLs (that I can do with ColdFusion), include the html list as a page in the app, and when an mp3 link is clicked the device (iOS or Android) plays the mp3 with its native player. (I'm seeing a lot of problems playing audio with a player embedded in the app itself, so am wanting to avoid that if I can.) Any advice? Thanks!

Hey @perrytheweaver, I would just stream the files on a server, not sure about IOS, but Android default player is fine. LA

Thanks! Not sure how to code the link to stream the file in device's native player. Do you know how, or can point me to some docs on the subject. I can't find any in BZ manual.

Hi Perry, Don't know exactly what you are asking but have you looked at this: https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=FA7AC4F6944FF2491FCE8AD It's only ios (I'm sorry) but if you have questions regarding this plugin feel free to ask. Best Regards, Danny

Thanks, Danny. This looks very helpful. My problem is that I need to create a home page "list" from dynamic info retrieved from the server (the url and title of each mp3, to put in that home page list). I'm still struggling with (1) how to build a list on the app home page from JSON info from the server, and then (2) how to code each mp3 url in that listing so that it might open your audio plugin when clicked. Any insights would be helpful!
