Using MasterAudio, how can I download an mp3 and play it in-game?

Only possible with the sound effect unit (Sound Group) and not in Playlists. Go to one of your Variations in a Sound Group (it can be the only Variation), and set Audio Origin to "File On Internet". Then enter the URL. When you press play, watch the Master Audio mixer section. The row for that Sound Group has a loading indicator that will show when the mp3 is downloading, ready to play or fails download. Read more here: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40293802/DarkTonic/MA_OnlineDocs/SoundGroupVariations.htmAt the point, you can play it like any sound effect:
MasterAudio.PlaySoundAndForget("DownloadedMusic");
Or any of the other methods that start with "PlaySound". |

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any way I can do this programmatically i.e. specifying an MP3 url while the game is running so that it's downloaded and played?
The reason I ask is because I noticed that MasterAudio downloads the files during Awake.

Yes, but you will have to do the same thing I suggested in a DynamicSoundGroupCreator prefab. Then spawn or Instantiate it and it will start downloading at that moment.
This doesn't involve any coding unless you use code to Instantiate / spawn it.
You still will have to set the Url in advance, not through code.
