How to play one audio file in android using adb command?

Question

I am having one android target.
I have some audio file in mnt/sdcard0.
How can I play through adb command?
Music player application is already installed in the target.

Answer 1

use the following adb shell command:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d file:///storage/sdcard0/test.wav -t audio/wav

Answer 2

There are two other command line programs which may work via a adb shell or even remotely using an ssh connection. Neither need an installed music player app.

adb shell stagefright -a -o file.mp3

and

adb shell tinyplay file.wav

(drop adb shell if not using an adb connection)

Note that tinyplay can only play stereo wav files. I found out about the stagefright command from a3nm's blog: Android from the command-line.
