Yes, I have searched, I'm guessing I'm using the "wrong" search terms...
What format is the music files downloaded from Google Play?
mp3?
I can't see EVER paying for an mp3 file, EVER.
I'd rather buy the CD itself, and make my own rip.
Guess I'll continue this way...
Looks like 320kbps mp3 files.
Though I thought I read somewhere that iTunes were lossless AAC?
Anywho, I will pass, cannot see buying a (lossy mp3) sample of a digital source, which itself, is a sample.
I will continue to rip my own, I like buying a physical CD to have anywho...

What program should i use to put music on my phone? and make the song small but sound good still.
oooh ooooh let me guess... windows media player?
Well i guess i sounded stupid by putting the question of what program to use to put the songs on to the phone. But what program should i use to convert the file into a smaller one without making the song quality crap?
Small MP4 files...
I use dbpoweramp to compress mp3's into mp4 files with an enhance aac plus encoder. I use tcpmp player to play them, but WMP will play them as well... there is just a noticeable pop every now and then in WMP.
http://home.case.edu/bes7/db_EnhAACPlus_710.zip - to the plugin for dBpoweramp
http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=7107&page=1&pp=15 - to the original thread about it.
This is the pluggin to use... I compress the mp3's down to 32kbit stereo and they sound amazing. A typical 4mb mp3 turns out to be around 900kb or so... you can store TONS more music... and there is very little quality loss.
Hope this is helpful...

Does anyone know of a way of playing Audible.com audiobook files on our phones?
Would be nice since I have 6 credits and probably 6 books waiting to be listened to. Listening to them on my computer is not an option.
I suppose you could use a program like Sound Taxi to convert them to generic MP3's I guess.
I used it to remove DRM from a WMV I had purchased. It only works if you can play the file so it doesn't crack the DRM. It seems to be like a digital form of burning protected iTunes files to cd and then ripping them.
I also found this: http://www.drmbuster.com/convert-aax-files.html which seems to be made for this job.
I hope this doesn't violate forum rules as you can only do it with a valid drm license. If so then can the mods remove it?
How random is that! i was just looking at the Audible earlier and wondering if it was still worth my ££££. I only came here to look busy on y PC at work!
EDIT : Then again, it doesn't appear to work in the UK....
This may seem a stupid question to all you clever people My previous phones have sort of integrated the music and video's from my storage card to the video and music icon's on the phone.( never had windows phone)
Can I only access these files via file explorer/storage card????
Can anyone help????

Ok don't panic.
Good on you for taking the plunge.
It is not like itunes which is a clunky, crappy way to do things.
Do you have a pc?
If so, use Windws media player to convert cd's to mp3's.
Or use Nero.
I personally use Nero, but there are many ways to convert files to mp3.
If you already have mp3's then all the better.
You can copy them to your sd card and then go online and the HD2 will find album cover art for your music.
pm me if you want help.

I have about 17GB of music I would like to get on my NS (around 2600 songs, mp3 format, range from 160-320kps ). Now, their's only 13GB available to use on the NS, so I'd like to know if I can change the format to something else to keep a similar or same quality, so I can fit them all on my NS
I do realize that some formats will decrease quality (because I'm converting from mp3) but, i'd like to keep the min. bit rate to sound like 160 on mp3. If anyone has any suggestions/instructions on how I can do this succesfully that would be great
There is another thread in general about audio files check it out, has some really good info. To provide some info here u can change the file format from mp3 to ogg vorbis to decrease the file size but u will lose sound quality, not that much tho. I took mp3 files and converted them to ogg vorbis then compared the sound quality and I personally noticed a difference. What I have found out is if you have the original CD is to rip the file to FLAC, which is lossless then convert it to ogg. Another option to consider is to use a streaming program like AudioGalaxy or Subsonic, both are available for android. These allow you to keep your music on your computer but stream it to your phone anywhere in the world. I'm currently looking into this myself. Hope some of this helped.

A. Install another audio player or
B. Convert all files to accepted format
I have the same problem.
Only Poweramp works for me + it has build in equalizer and you can change themes.

hi
try blackplayer ! it's free
but i'm bored to install other application for simple tasks , i mean at least the p8 player should play aac ! i have to open with the video player
[Solved - sort of]
Just to add to the confusion, I have a slightly similar/different problem. My P8lite plays m4a files bought and/or ripped via iTunes stored on the SDCard, then it wouldn't find newer ones I added. File explorer apps show they are there at
SDCard/Music/NewAlbum/Track1.m4a
SDCard/Music/NewAlbum/Track2.m4a
etc, etc
I like that the P8lite native MusicPlayer will look for and play random folders, except that the ones it can't find do show up in the VideoPlayer. ??!!?? I have another 3rd party app also called MusicPlayer that worked well on a previous phone, but it too cannot "see" the missing folders. These files seem to have been grabbed by the system and tagged as video. WTF? Is there a hidden limit on the number/size of audio files? How can these files be re-assigned as audio? Fishing round the AppStore to find a player that works seems a doozy way to fix what looks like a system fault...
[Edit] Problem comes from Apple, not Android: iTunes v.12 and later tags file info as "Purchased AAC", previous versions were merely "AAC". There's no DRM 'cos they will play on Android devices that play m4A, just they don't show up in many players' menu. I'm now using RocketPlayer, works for me. I haven't got any CD handy now to rip with iTunes12 to see what it does to that...
