Third-party replacements for MediaPlayer / MediaRecorder?

Question

The built-in classes for working with audio in Android seem less ideal. For me, they are too complicated to use, but provide only basic functions.

However, I do not want to start a discussion about the merits or demerits of these classes. I just want to know: are there any libraries to provide alternatives to recording and playing audio in Android? I could not find anything, but maybe there is something there.

Answer 1

Vitamio looks good, although I never used it myself. One of the interesting features they say is HTTP Live Streaming support on Android 2.1+. worth checking out.
