I am just curious, how are you going to listen to the files if it runs?
Headphones? headphones amps? hi-fi sound system? dock?
I use headphones and jdlabs amp

No, I tested. Play Music won't run it. I used MX Player.
WMP; flac
Guys, I was used to synchronize my audio library from WMP to my Android device. There are both MP3s and FLACs in the library. Since I have Nexus 4, WMP doesn't sync flac to Nexus, it writes "the player might not support the file".
I haven't found any option how to make WMP to do it. PlayerPro in Nexus plays flac without any problem. is there any setting in the devices? Or am I missing some application? The truth is, when I click on flac file in Astra file manager, it writes "Activity not found"...
One more thing. Even when I try to simly copy flac file to Nexus in widows through My Computer, it writes me that the device doesn't support that type of media...
No.

EDIT:
I was wrong about this. Android does support FLAC natively since 3.0
Not natively, for whatever reason.
Meaning it must be implemented by a third party and some paid music players have gone that extra step.
Simpler (free) music players tend to play whatever file formats are available by the Android OS.
The default Google player and Apollo do NOT support FLAC.
Your question should be "which music players do support FLAC?"

I get the same message when I copy .mp3, or FLAC files directly to my device via a Windows box. Also, try Solid Explorer, it makes the other file managers look outdated.
I play FLAC all the time with Poweramp. If the Nexus 4 had OTG, I'd be using FLAC a lot more. However, what I normally do is download files to my phone with Dsub from my Subsonic server. I force Dsub to limit the bitrate to 320kbps, and Subsonic will automatically transcode FLAC to 320kbps. I highly recommend checking out Subsonic. It really helps you work around the small amount of space we're given in the Nexus 4. I can essentially carry my HUGE collection of music wherever I have an internet connection.

That's weird - I've been using the standard Play Music on my Nexus 4 to listen to FLAC files and it's been working fine. Unless I've misinterpreted what the OP is asking! Basically I just copy FLAC files to the Music folder, hit the 'Refresh' button in the Play Music settings and everything's okay.

Weird indeed. I couldn't play a FLAC file with Play Music as well but I've come across reports of people having no problems with it. I did test only one file and had the DRM service disabled. I was running stock 4.2.1 at the time.

Are you trying 16-bit or 24-bit FLAC files? I don't have any 24-bit ones to test so can't confirm that they work, but definitely haven't had any problems with literally hundreds of 16-bit FLAC files. Like yourself I'm also running stock 4.2.1 with no hacks/root etc. I haven't installed any other audio programs either. Prior to my Nexus 4 I was also able to successfully play FLAC natively on a Note 2 (running 4.1 I guess?) and HTC One X (probably running 4.0 but I can't remember now).

This is wrong, android has had native support for playing FLAC files since android 3.0, I remember playing FLAC files with play music just last month.

It is strange then that it doesn't work for some of us. I will investigate this further.
I used Play music app and it play a few of my flac files...
I guess all players in the mobile world support flac.

In your dream, only in the Android world. Ask Apple or Microsoft about their feeling about open standards.
For Honeycomb and newer, flac is supported on a system level. Flac is not supported by defauit for Gingerbread, but you can install certain music that have Flac codec.

Where can I find the apk for Samsung's Epic stock Music player?
If you want the stock music player with a lot of cool tweaks (ie fullscreen, see-through background, gesture controls), download MusicMod from the market. Similar to but much better than stock.
thanks I'll try it but I would rather have stock music player if you have it.
I'm a fan of DoubleTwist.
Which exactly are you going for?
Sound Player or Music Player....
2.1 came with Sound Player
2.2 comes with both Sound Player and Music Player
The Music Player is the one with the 5.1ch option and Equilizer, but apparently cant play ogg :/
The fascinate music player was playing oggs just fine, it doesn't keep the tags though (So no album art), so i just converted em to high quality mp3s and got over it.

because you would first have to uninstall the music player you have when doing it locally. try using adb.
what is adb?

Lets you connect to your phone with a computer. And to install the stock music player you need to push it to your /system/app folder and reboot. /system must be mounted rw before you can do that though...

Bingo. However you should check out winamp. It was just released for android recently. Much better than any other music player I've used.

I'm trying to play FLAC music files on my Nexus S however it doesn't work. I tried several third party application like meridan, mortplayer, andless,.. but none of them seem to play FLAC files. Any suggestions or is this issue related to Gingerbread (2.3.1)?
I have the bluetooth file transfer tool on my phone. I can browse to my flac directory and see the files. However if I try to select one the OS says no application is associated for these files.
Try power amp...its my favorite music app by FAR. Give it a shot, I'm sure you'll love it!

As the name suggests, I'm having some issues with audio playback on my new Iconia. I transferred all my music from my HTC Evo, to my PC, then to the Iconia using Acer's downloadable drivers. If I open the folder via a market downloaded file explorer...I have no issues. It is when I try to play the files in absolutely anything else that I get errors. Just FYI, the files are a mix of .mp3 and .wma files. Any thoughts?
Chlballi
Edit: I'm using File Explorer HD, and only the .mp3 files are playing within the explorer...the .wma files prompt for an app and fail
you can use windows media player to sync music
As far as I know, the WMA format isn't supported in Honeycomb natively.
I had the same problem but its was with google music. I tried power amp from the market and all my music plays fine now. And all my files are wma.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.unlock
i ended up doing something similar with MortPlayer--still wish it would've worked with Google Music...I was realling digging the UI of that one. Oh well, at least my music plays now. If anyone ends up with a thought or a workaround for the native Iconia app, keep us posted here. I'd love to see a device where all of the stock software worked as it was intended!

Has anyone tried to sync music to our Acer's using Windows Media Player? If that can be used to send all the music to the device AND be able to use the default app...I'd be in good shape.

Yes. I did mention WMP above.
But I only did sync MP3 files, not WMA files. So I don't know about WMA part. MP3 is recognized and played flawlessly using stock music player.
Another note, if your music info (ID3 Tags) is not in English, make sure you have proper character encoding before syncing. Otherwise, they will be displayed as garbage. I think all ID3 Tags should be converted to UTF8, not sure, just used Foobar2000 to fix all my Japanese-title music.
After exchanging my first Iconia to BB for some other issues, I did as you mentioned with using the tablet as an external mp3 player in WMP and everything worked flawlessly! Thanks I also found a great .apk to be able to mount my NTFS HDDs to the tab without issue. So I'm in great shape now!
Chlballi
I tried an experiment with the music -- after syncing the music to my tablet using WMP, I noticed that it placed all of the files into the music folder within the root sdcard (internal memory) and google music pp worked great. I moved all the files from that folder to a folder created on the external_SD, and the app fails like before. Apparently the Music app that comes with our Iconias cannot see anything outside of its native internal memory

I have a rooted Nexus 7 which I'd like to use in conjunction with a large external USB drive as a high-capacity music player. The music player provided with Nexus media importer is pretty basic (no playlist/search functionality etc), so I was wondering whether anyone had any good ideas for turning the USB/OTG media player into a more "native" style solution. For example, is it possible to mount the USB drive so that it would be visible to something like Doubletwist?
Your rooted so get stickmount to mount your drives and use poweramp to play your music!

Thanks for that. I just quickly installed Stickmount and it's mounted my USB drive fine, but Google Music and Doubletwist don't see it. Is there a decent music app that can use USB mounts?

Can anyone comment on which of these, if any, are good at handling large music collections? (5,500 albums, >80,000 tracks). I use DoubleTwist for this reason.
For my large music library I use jetaudio and avia. but that's on my Toshiba Thrive. I hook it up to a 250 gigabyte external hard drive. on the next 7 I do not yet have an OTG cable. So I can't say for sure. Hope this helps.
I was able to point PowerAmp to my music on an OTG Usb thumbdrive. It streamed just fine.

Yeah, as long as it can read an OTG pen
I did not find a player that recognizes my USB Drive, but i could open the folder with my music with Astro, then chose to open a file with Folder Player and all files from the folder showed up in the player! So i can play them, but of course Folder Player is very limited (cannot change order of tracks, can only have one folder open at a time...)
EDIT: Winamp is able to find and play the files and playlists on the USB drive!
Hi guys,
I have surfed the web about this matter for a certain time. Finally, i found the following android apps which can detect USB OTG and play music without root well:
- Music Folder Player Free
- Player dreams
- n7player Music Player
- Neutron Music Player
- Folder Player
- MortPlayer Music
You can download them via Play Store. I tested them on my Car Head Unit which has Android 4.0.3 OS firmware. All of them were ok.
Just i don't know why "n7player Music Player" crashes and reports Force Close message when you have so many mp3 files (e.g. more than 2000 music files) on your USB.

As a last resort, if you can't find anything else that works, you can convert the flac files to mp3 using Lame with "--preset insane". Still technically lossy, but probably past the capability of the G6's DAC to distinguish.
