Audio (MediaPlayer) On an Android (Archos 5 IT)

Firstly, what is the filepath for an Archos? I'm trying to get some media/audio to play, and it just won't find it...

 public void onClick(View v1) {               
                final MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
                try {
                    mp.setDataSource("ARCHOS5:/Music/manowar.mp3");
                    mp.start();
                    Toast.makeText(Textbox.this, "Working", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    mp.setLooping(true);
                } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });

What is wrong with that code?

Secondly: I can't get audio files in "R.raw.'filename'" to play.

It works perfectly on the emulator, but when I press the play button (a different one) on the Archos, it just crashes.

You should use openRawResource() to access items in R.raw. To access the SD card, check out resources like this post.
