Play music from memory in Android

Question

Is there a way to play a song that exists as an array of bytes in memory and not as a file on disk?

I know I could save it in a file temporarily and play it form there but I'd like to avoid this as I'm trying to implement a DRM system that will not expose unencrypted media files.

Answer 1

You can use AudioTrack. But it supports raw LPCM data only.
