How can we change the source of Audio Player ?

How should we play multiple audios ?

Actually I am destroying and creating new player every time I need to play another audio file.
Storing the current player in a ref but it doesn't seems to be working on android properly the duration gets messed up and the audio doesn't play.

  // change the song when index changes
  useEffect(() => {
    if (isPlaying) {
      mPlayer.current.destroy();
    }
    mPlayer.current = new Player(songs[songIndex].url)
    mPlayer.current.play(() => {
      console.log(mPlayer.current.state);
      if (mPlayer.current.state === 4) {
        setIsPlaying(true);
      } else {
        setIsPlaying(false);
      }
    });
   
  }, [songIndex]);

It works perfect in ios

same problem here, on android after the initial player is destroyed, it took ages for the new player to load or refuses to load at all. works fine on ios though. any work around for this problem? thank you

Actually I used https://github.com/react-native-kit/react-native-track-player for my App - https://github.com/ShivamJoker/RN-Music-Player
