List of songs

window.cordova.plugins.AudioLibrary.getItems(function(items) {
  // your code
});

Each item in items is an object, for instance:

{
  id: "11111111",
  title: "Song name",
  artist: "Artist name",
  duration: 500,
  path: "path_to_song" //on iOS it's "ipod-library://item.mp3?id=**"
}

How to play/pause songs?

This section is specifically for an iOS (on Android items[index].path is a path that you can use in HTML5 audio tag). To play a song you need to call initQueue with an id of the first track that should be played. Then simply call play.

Initialize an audio queue.

window.cordova.plugins.AudioLibrary.initQueue(items[0].id, function() {
  // playing queue is initialized, call #play to start playing from the first song.
});

Start playing a queue.

window.cordova.plugins.AudioLibrary.play(function() {
  // first song in audio queue is now playing.
});

Pause an active audio track.

window.cordova.plugins.AudioLibrary.pause(function() {
  // song is paused.
});
