I want to add background music to my Android game, this needs to be pause able, resume able, etc.

I have found this example: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/258176/Adding-Background-Music-to-Android-App

However the line

mServ = ((MusicService.ServiceBinderbinder).getService();

Seems to kick up really weird errors, I have no idea what this is trying to do..

If anyone can see how to get this way working or if there is another, better way of doing this?

Try this

mServ = ((MusicService.ServiceBinder)binder).getService();

Its working for me. Also Change getService() method in MusicService class as public method.
