There's a few things to unpack here, most of which doesn't make much sense: > /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.hablamedecristo.himnario2/files/test.mp3 This path suggests that you have your `test.mp3` stored in the `cordova.file.dataDirectory` and that your application is installed on an "SD Card" (a virtual sd card, not a physical one, hence `/storage/emulated/...`). OR you're using `cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory`. I'm going to refer to this as "External" storage here on out. There are limitations in using external storage through File APIs, though I do not think they apply to `externalApplicationStorageDirectory` paths. It's worth testing using `cordova.file.dataDirectory` with your app installed on android's `Internal` storage to see if that makes a difference. > Note: when trying to access an mp3 file with cordova.file.applicationStorageDirectory `applicationStorageDirectory` is suppose to be the app install directory, which where your apk is unpacked. This directory itself is suppose to be read only. This should point to `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.hablamedecristo.himnario2`. `cordova.file.dataDirectory` should point to `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.hablamedecristo.himnario2/files`. > I also can download to cordova.file.applicationStorageDirectory via the cordova-plugin-file-transfer plugin. As I stated above, `applicationStorageDirectory` is suppose to be a read-only directory, therefore you shouldn't be able to download files to it. > I get the error "java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:443" If you're using the file transfer plugin to "download" from `localhost`, you're receiving this error because in this context, `localhost` is the `WebViewAssetLoader`, it's only accessible from within the webview itself. The file transfer plugin however uses the native network stack, which is external of the webview. The file transfer plugin is intended to be used for external resources, not to download from the app itself. > I have test.mp3 saved in the android/platform_www directory. the `platform_www` directory is something that cordova manages in preparing platform-specific web assets. It's not intended for developers to manually add content to it. If you want to bundle assets, use `<cordova-project-root>/www` directory instead. Manually adding content inside `platform_www` (or anything inside the `platforms/` directory in general) is not recommended. ### Moving forward.... Because there is a lot of weird constructs in the information you've provided, we will need a [sample reproduction app](https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md) that demonstrates the issue. This will help isolate the bug from your application code and allows others to easily reproduce the issue. If the issue cannot be reproduced in a minimal sample application, then it suggests that the bug doesn't rely in the media plugin. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
