1. A method for activating a media player of a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- detecting operative coupling of a speaker system to the wireless communication device when audio or video files are not playing and responsive to whether the speaker system is a stereo speaker system or a mono speaker system;
activating a media player to automatically begin playing an audio or video file using the stereo speaker system in response to detecting the operative coupling of the stereo speaker system to the wireless communication device; and
not automatically activating the media player to begin playing audio or video files using the mono speaker system in response to detecting the operative coupling of the mono speaker system to the wireless communication device.
