WMA Codecs that would work with Google Play Music? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

I know (and am using) VLC can access the WMA music I've ripped from CDs (a tech wonk told me in the 90s that it was superior audio, I'm not re-ripping hundreds of CDs even if that's not the case), but I've grown used to using Google Play Music for playing music on other (Samsung, HTC) devices that have a WMA codec built in.
Without full support for the WMA codec, the system indexing of WMA files doesn't occur: the artists, albums, etc. don't show up as existing, even in VLC (I browse by folder).
Are there any solutions that would fix this, other than converting my audio?

Playing GSM compressed WAV files?

My voicemail-emails have attached GSM compressed wav files.
Of course that's good because uncompressed files would be much too large, but how can I playback those files?
Can I somehow download additional wav codecs for the pocketpc or is there a good player which can do it?
You only get those MP3 file players and nothing else...
I've tried BetaPlayer (pretty good divx player) which supports wav files, and I get the message "Audio Codec not found".
Problem solved
I just noticed that the WAV file was added to my pocket outlook notes since I put it in the My documents folder.
It can be played as an outlook note.
However, strange that pocket windows media player and other players don't support it.
windows media player dont support any non ms format apart from mp3
and this goes for both audio and video
dont know the format so i cant help i would prob search around for as many players i could using google looking for that feature if i were you
otherwise i suppose you can find a converter for the pc wihtout too much problems

Lost MP3 Support

Suddenly, after install of WolfAlarm, I lost the support to play mp3s as my ringtone. Even after a hard reset it did not matter. Is there another way?
Hi, happened to me as well. I never got mp3's to play as ringtones but I could use WMA files as ringtones. You can convert from mp3 to WMA format with ease (windows media player can do it). Must admit id rather still be able to play mp3s as ringtones though.
Jez.
Update: I just realised when playing around that I CAN actaully play mp3's as ringtones, they just have to be under 2 meg in size. I can use WMA files of any size though.
Well, i cant play neither mp3 no wma
Can play only wav but they large in size
Any ideas?

Flac playback using TF3d player?

I've seen a fair bit about using third party media players etc to play FLAC music files. I've binned most of my MP3 files and re ripped my entire music collection to flac. This was fine up till about a month ago as i had a nice COWON MP3/flac player that i used when i was out and about, but that got stolen from my van so i'm thinking of using my Touch HD as a media player instead. Thing is i like the MP3 player feature built in to TF3d and am wondering if anyone has been sucsessful at getting it to play flac files?

Music Player

So now that the 2.2 upgrade has broken the built in media player so that it no longer reads WMA tags, all my albums are found under the "unknown artist" heading
So what is the go to player that does not rely on the android subsystem (3 has the same problem) now?
PS
Converting to MP3 is really not an option.
I can't really help unfortunately, but can confirm Mixzing also suffers from this so guess it uses the same library as default.
I endured the ballache of conversion to mp3 although I kinda had been looking for an excuse to do it anyway.

The problem is that WMV is the only en mass format that gives lossless.
MP3 is fine but doesn't give lossless.
The sound system in my BMW is happy playing MP3 and WMA and WMA lossless but the other lossless formats are not supported.
There is also the argument about 192kbps being better quality than a 192kbps MP3 but lets save that argument for another day
And lets remember, up until Sunday, everything was working just fine

.amr player for Evernote audio notes

I have been playing around with Evernote and discovered that it has a potentially useful audio note feature. The problem is that the audio files are recorded in .amr format and none of the players that come with the Tab 10.1 will play this format.
I have installed and tested a bunch of audio players includeing Real and Astro but none of these will play this format either. Has anyone found a player that will work with the audio files produced by Evernote?
Bob
same here , work fine on my android phone tho
I asked the folks at Evernote for help. They have found a bug that causes the GT7510 to fail to display all the compatible players when a .amr file is selected within Evernote. The only options displayed are the music player and sound player, neither of which will play .amr. Real Player, which I have on my Tab, and will play .amr, does not display as an option. The same problem exists for the .wav files produced in the Evernote PC version.
Evernote techs are working on a a solution.
Bob
thanks for the update , I guess we'll have to wait.
Cheers
