Hi there,

I am trying to implement a song into a game that begins playing and continually loops on Windows Phone 7 via XNA 4.0. On the emulator, this works fine, however when deployed to a phone, it simply gives a black screen before going back to the home screen. Here is the rogue code in question, and commenting this code out makes the app run fine on the phone:

// in the constructor fields
private Song song;

// in the LoadContent() method
song = Content.Load<Song>("song");

// in the Update() method
if (MediaPlayer.GameHasControl && MediaPlayer.State != MediaState.Playing)
{
    MediaPlayer.Play(song);
}

The song file itself is a 2:53 long, 2.28mb .wma file at 106kbps bitrate.

Again this works perfectly on emulator but does not run at all on phone. Thanks for any help you can provide!
