First of all you have to create a folder called raw then put there the music you want to play and then do something like this :

 public class TestSound extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button btSound = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
        final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.musicTest);
        btSound .setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp.start();
            }
        });     
    }

What do you mean? It plays the music that you choose on `R.raw.` – Skizo-ozᴉʞS ツ Aug 19 '15 at 14:48
