Just got my first ever tablet and am gradually learning to work it (very different from
Windows!). I'm really pleased that suddenly I can read FSI texts in bed (the text is just too small in e-readers). One thing I'm finding especially difficult, though (both for FSI and for graded readers with audio). When I start a new app, the previous one goes into the background. The upshot is that as soon as I pull up the relevant PDF, the audio "stops". This makes graded readers, FSI and LR impossible. I'm sure I'm just being a dunce and there will be an easy way to do it that I'm missing. My tablet is running android 4.1.1. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have an Android phone (ver. 4.0.3) and use it extensively for language learning, including L/R. I have no such problem, so it should be possible. Do you use the built- in, unnamed, "mp3 reader"? I do, and when I open a file in that app, then switch to another app (say a PDF reader), the sound keeps on playing. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Try switching to a different music/audio player, one which supports playing in the
background better (Google Play Music does this, although it's streaming, not local files, so no offline support). I haven't used my phone for L/R, so I'm not exactly sure what the other options would be. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have no problem doing this with my nexus, although cheaper tablets may restrict
multitasking due to their smaller memory capacities. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks to everyone that answered.
@ lorinth: I was indeed using the built-in, unnamed MP3 player. @ mikinai: tried your suggestion problem solved. Thanks. I tried doubletwist and it works fine. Thanks again to all. Edited by Random review on 22 May 2013 at 2:02am 1 person has voted this message useful |
