Playlist stops when put into the background

[hounsellal]

Great example. Only problem is that the playlist stops when you put the app into the background. Any idea on how to get it to keep playing the current item, AND advance to the next item all while in the background?

According to https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/audio.html:

Note that Expo does not yet support backgrounding, so audio is not available to play in the background of your experience. Audio also automatically stops if headphones / bluetooth audio devices are disconnected.

You can use the staysActiveInBackground argument for Audio.setAudioModeAsync(mode)
