Is there a way to allow the user to play the music from their own device?
For example, there is a way you can use the in-built camera to load pictures.

In general, music files that have been downloaded by other apps are usually stored in a place that is only accessible to that app. The file system on a typical mobile device (iOS, Android, Windows 8 Phone, et al) is protected and not open to browsing by any app. You cannot peruse the file system on a mobile device like you find on a PC or Mac; the same rules do not apply. This is done for security reasons and to insure reliability of the devices.
