Answer 1

public class Activity1 extends Activity {
    boolean hasPlayed;
    boolean shouldPlayMusic;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        hasPlayed = false;
        SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharePreferences();
        shouldPlayMusic = prefs.getBoolean("musictype", false);
        //other initialization
    }

    protected void All() {
        if(shouldPlayMusic && !hasPlayed) {
            //Should check state of MediaPlayer too
            mp1.start();
            hasPlayed = true;
        }
    }
}

Basically something like that. Keep a boolean flag of whether you've played once already, and check that as well as the preference value before you play it. Once you've played it, set the flag so that it won't play any more.
