Playing a song one by one causes an MP3Extractor error

Question

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
        mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

        mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                playAudio(getNextAudioFile());
            }
        });
..
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if(mMediaPlayer != null) {
        mMediaPlayer.release();
        mMediaPlayer = null;
    }
}
    private boolean playAudio(String file) {
        if(file.isEmpty()) {
            return true;
        }

        if(mMediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {          
            mMediaPlayer.stop();
        }
    mMediaPlayer.reset();

        mAudioFile = new File(mBaseAudioDir, file);
        if(mAudioFile.canRead()) {
            try {
            mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(mAudioFile.getPath());
                mMediaPlayer.prepare();
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                return false;
            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                return false;
            } catch (IOException e) {
                return false;
            }
            mMediaPlayer.start();
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

This works, but after the song ends, I have this error message in the log:

03-13 12: 52: 05.101: ERROR / MP3Extractor (34): Resync cannot be performed. Alarm end of stream. 03-13 13: 16: 59,585: INFO / StagefrightPlayer (34): setDataSource ('/highway/SDCard/Audio/sound.mp3')

In fact, you do not have to have empty catch blocks, you can get an explanation for this error, but you just ignore it, try the following:

     try {
        mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(mAudioFile.getPath());
            mMediaPlayer.prepare();
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "mMediaPlayer IllegalArgumentException " ,e);
            return false;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "mMediaPlayer IOException" ,e);
            return false;
        }
