Hi, All my music is in wma format. I copied about 5 albums to my g1 last night but only one of them has been found (in albums). The info about wma format on android is a bit ambiguous and I don't really understand why one album has been found (which is wma format like all the others).
Could someone please clarify the situation. Is there any way to get all the wma tracks to be recognised?
Here are the available formats: MP3, M4A (iTunes application AAC, DRM-free), AMR, WMA(8), MIDI, WAV, OGG Vorbis.
Also seems that you can listen to WMA(8) but you can't set them as notifications/ringtones... Was it converted as WMA8?
I'm personally not a massive fan of WMA, but why not convert the originals into .ogg instead? dbpoweramp music converter does it very well.
I had this issue the other day but all mine are .mp3's. What I had to do was go to settings > applications > manage applications and go to your music app and clear the data. Did that then it displayed everything again.

Hi all,
I can find loads of stuff on MP3 format music and in particular setting as ring tones but not MP4.
I can download and play MP4 but don't get given an option that I can see to set the files as ringtones?
Any ideas?
Maybe hat because wm5 doesnt support that format natively....
Yup, convert them to some compatible format.
I have recently put an album both in MP3 and AAC format on my Diamond. The music player of Touch Flo 3D, when in album view, shows the tracks in wrong order, for the AAC files. It seems it has a bug reading the Track# tag of AAC files. Have you experienced this?
i also have this!
Have you tried any other music players with AAC files on diamond?
I have just noticed the same thing with WMA files. Is that correct?
so figured it out- neither tunewiki nor music will read the id3 tags from WMA files-
problem is most of my music has been ripped to WMA format due to it being smaller than MP3-
So i have 3 options:
1. convert the WMA files to OGG format
2. rerip all the albums to OGG
3. find a decent player that recognises WMA ID3 tags
any help with any of these would be much appreciated.
thanks
Looks like it's time to rerip.
As much as I say go open source, why not rerip in MP3? Granted it may be a somewhat aging codec (and patent-encumbered), but it's a de-facto standard that is guaranteed to work on almost any device that plays digital music.
I was just wondering if someone can explain the new FLAC radio compatibility with the new Cyanogens ROM.
Thanks in adavance
FLAC is a lossless format. Meaning that you won't lose any audio quality as opposed to many other formats.
FLAC on wiki
It means that the phone will now play .FLAC music files. Before we had .ogg .mp3 and a few others. So now add .FLAC to that list.
.FLAC, in my opinion, the best format for music.
Ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the info.
This questions goes to any 2.3.6 ROM user:
Are m4a audio files with valid ID3-tags (Artist, AlbumArtist, Album, CoverArt) scanned and available in MusicPlayer with correct tags?
I know mp3 and ogg audio are picked up by media scanner.
Please note if odexed/deodexed, JV*, JW1 version.
Edit:
Can confirm m4a audio files are working in XXJVU deodexed from Ramad
Am I the only one using m4a audio files?
Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like
The real question here is wether they are supported by the phone...

Media support
The Galaxy S comes with support for many multimedia file formats, including audio codecs (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF), video codecs (mpeg4, H.264, H.263, Sorenson codec, DivX HD/ XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (Advanced Systems Format), AVI (divx), MKV, FLV).
...
m4a audio (AAC-codec) are superior to mp3 and have always been supported on I9000.
But as said in OP, media scanner in XXJVU can find m4a tags. B)
