I would pay for this, or even for a stripped down version of this which gets me hooks into the iOS and Android music player subsystems. Any update?

We’re delivering a MMO for another company. This asset is part of their game.

It’s all done, gone under QA several times.
It’s currently missing the demos and more documentation is needed before it’s ready.

Hi there, any new updates for your plugin? I’m looking for a good plugin to load a song from Android Music library to an Audio-Source but found nothing but yours.

Doesn’t support android but I published an iOS plugin that allows users to access their music library.

Hunterleaman - I just checked out your asset. I’m interested but I’m pretty hesitant due to lack of m4a support. Why can’t you just instruct iTunes to play that file or playlist in the background instead of having unity decode/play the file?

Thats a great suggestion. Ill see if I can rework it to simply play the music through the device.

The reason is the plugin reads, copies, and sends the song as audio data to unity and then Unity reads the audio data to play the song — the original reason for this was so that I could access the audio data for other uses like triggering visual effects.

Ah, cool, makes sense. I mostly just want a good music picker to appear as a modal view. And work in landscape mode. And android, if possible later :slight_smile:

Just wanted to update you — I took your suggestions and now M4As as well as multiple song queues are supported. Im working on resolving one issue and then Im republishing to the asset store.
