In this task, you'll be introduced to the Media API and will create a class that our audio notes can use to interact with the Media API. We'll call this a media manager.
Before going any further, you should add the Media plugin to the project:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.media
Although we'll be covering the majority of the Media API, it's always best to consult the Cordova documentation to ensure you're seeing the most up-to-date information. You should be able to see the documentation on the Media API at https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/blob/dev/doc/index.md.
