FLAC files impossible to play - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a little trouble with my favorite ROM, AOSP Extended.
I can't play FLAC files. It's happening only with the last built, and, as I'm using the same apps and the same configuration, I thing it's something related to the ROM.
I was wondering if it could be something of a file missing, or something like that.
If somebody can help me, it would be great.
Thanks.

.flac files will play with VLC for Android. Get it from the Playstore.

Thanks for your answer

Please help..I'm loosing it!!

I thought I fixed this by asking in previous post but obviously not.. NO MATTER HOW I ADD MUSIC to my SD card, Touch Flo Music app gives Audio Manager_eng.exe error!! Hard Reset, Soft Reset, Delete Audiomanager file, editing/resetting registry, using drag and drop, using Media Monkey..ALL no luck.
How and what do you guys do to play music via your SD card on Touch Flo music app...step by step guide most appreciated - what do I delet, what do I name folders etc...Merry Xmas
have you tried syncronising using windows media player? and if the media is on the card, you should be able to select the albums using options in the tf3d media player, if it crashes and you havent done anything that voids your warranty, try HTC support. because if a hard reset doesnt fix the problem its a problem in your rom,
what also possibly could cause it to crash is if you try to play an unsupported media file,
hope to have given you some new information or suggestions!

This is the ssimple answer.
You might want to reinstall Audio manager using a new installation file. Yours could have quite possibly become corrupt. Do a search and find an original CAB on here. I'm sure I saw it on somewhere here. Otherwise...send your phone in for the support guys to take a look. Might be worth a shot.
You were right! Now I realize it does not seem to support m4a files...removed them, still no luck...after 2 hours I found a rogue m4a file in my library...Unbelievable! I thought it would just ignore the file type rather than corrupt all??
Thank you anyway.

Nope this is not correct, all of my music (hundreds of songs) in my SD are in m4a format (AAC encoded within iTunes), they all play perfectly work perfectly, no problem whatsoever, even the artist/song/album info and cover art is working fine from m4a.
Something else is the problem here.
I just wanted to prevent missinformation, the blackstone DOES play m4a (AAC) without any problems (Main Memory or SD doesn't make a difference...)

Well, MOST of my music is in M4A files; I originally converted all my CD collection to M4A for my old Sony Walkman phone because the AAC-type format seemed to give better sound quality for a given file size compared to MP3.
And so far, it's only been one rogue file that has given me problems on the HD, although I noticed that it does tend to mess up the playing order.
Maybe there's something different in the codecs that you are using or something. I seem to recall that I used Nero to encode mine.
I'm confused then..would the fact that I use a Mac be the issue - Itunes purchases - DRM Free ( though I use Bootcamp to do all music transfers etc..).

My phone will not play media

.mp3's will not play. .avi's will not play (through TCPMP). .mp4's will not play.
SURELY I don't need to convert songs before I transfer them to my device? But either way, they will not play. Video's have never played.
Currently using HSPL with Artemis v13. I bought the HD2 because of the amazing screen, but seeing as I can't watch films on it, it's not much good to me, just a phone, which I could trade in for a cheaper one and earn some money! ANY ideas at ALL what I can do with this guys? I seem to have tried everything.
You must have installed something that has caused this problem, because it's out-of-the-box functionality to play mp3 & mp4 files (for AVI you would need tcpmp/coreplayer).
Did it work before you flashed the Artemis ROM? I seriously doubt that the ROM is the cause here though, as you'd most likely not be the first person to notice
When you say "they don't play", what actually happens? If you open file explorer and find an mp3 or mp4 file and click it, what happens?
On stock rom, .mp4's stay stuck on 'Loading...' but never move, on Artemis 'Loading...' pops up briefly, then disappears. With .mp3's the music player just skips through the songs until it reaches the end. TCPMP and Coreplayer say 'unknown file format' on .avi files. I have tried all manner of conversion software, but nothing ever seems to work. I remember when I first got the phone, out the box, it played mp4's quite merrily, but issues began after I had to hard-reset it. I'm not sure if that's just coincidence. It's bloody annoying though!
I wish there was a phone media player out there that did the same job as VLC on desktops, i.e. it will play a used a toilet roll if you want it to!
John, Could you perhaps link me the .cab you use for TCPMP? I have used 3 or 4 different .cabs I've seen lying around, but none of them do the job.
There's something wrong with your phone mate. If it didn't play mp3s out of the box then it won't play them - sorry but it's that simple.
I'd recommend sending it back to your supplier as faulty.
Edit:
I can't link you to a tcpmp cab that I use because I bought Coreplayer, but in fairness, if you've tried 3 or 4 different ones and it doesn't work then there's definitely something wrong with the phone. Maybe the device memory is corrupted (physically) - who knows. But it really does just sound knackered I'm afraid.
i would flash stock rom (and overwrite hspl) and then check, if it can play media files again.
if so, it was your rom. if not, somethings wrong with your phone.
grace to ospl and stock rom, you could return it now and get a new one
but i'm nearly 100% sure, that its your rom.

OK lads, cheers.
Better swap the SPL back and flash stock rom before I send it to O2 I guess .
One other question - for the device to play video (either .mp4 or .avi) does the file need to be a certain frame width / height and frame rate, bitrate etc, or will it play any .mp4 extension (or .avi extension, with TCPMP)?
can play every mp4 file...
sometimes with lags or something, but its still playable.

Playing FLAC files

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!

Problem playing .wma audio

Hey. Loving CM7 so far, but I've run into a problem. Either CM7 doesn't support .wma files or something else is wrong, but none of my .wma songs will play in any player. Is there a fix for this or is my only recourse to convert all of them into .mp3?
plx help....
Did you try Rock Player (from market)? Never ever betrayed me.
There are many, many third party media players from the market that support .wma format sound files
But it's normal for wma files not to appear for example in the default player for Android right? That happens to me and happened with winamp and real media, which I suppose don't support wma files.
If it's not normal for them not to appear in the default player what may be the fault? The ROM I use or the HTC HD2 itself?
I appreciate any reply and sorry if I'm asking something repeated already. Despite the traces of what is said not only in this thread being quite obvious I'd like full confirmation of this
Thanks for nothing :/
For those who in the future have the same problem, try Power Amp, for me it worked like a charm. Playe Pro didn't.

may i know why does not the p8 lite audio player play aac songs?

hi
may i know why doesn't the p8 lite audio player(the player built in the phone) doesn't play my songs?
i download and bought from itunes an album , format aac , extension m4a
i have noticed that the player does play ogg vorbis , mp4 but not aac at leat in this format or extension
i tried to scan all my folders , nothing
and about the lyrics may i know which metadata files does it read ?
thanks
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...
