I have flac on my P9 and no issues but I always check and retag after I rip or download my music as in the past I had issues with art appearing fine on my PC but missing on iPods,phones etc.
I use MP3tag to do this but plenty of other programs can do it too...
I recently switched to flac and notice the tag name in mp3tag is listed as flac whereas in mp3 it is using id3.
Once tags are correct everything should work.

Do you know how check if tags are correct? If tags are wrong how to fix them?

Download a tag program such as mp3tag or media monkey.
Plenty of programs can either auto tag for you or let you manually tag.
I did a lot manually using mp3tag because they were ripped with Windows media player over the years and artwork didn't always work.

Hi have just updated my P9 and it STOPPED playing FLAC files, as well as m4a's!
Did this just happen to you too? How can I fix this?
Thank you very much!

Xoom Currupting Music Files?

I synced about 3,00 songs to my Xoom and the Xoom refused to play 100 of them. All the songs were standard mp3s that I ripped myself. If I copied the files back to my PC, they play fine.
In an effort to fix this, I cleared the data of the Media Storage and Music app. The Xoom is now rebuilding the music, but new files are showing up in the music player with an unknown artist and these tracks give me an error trying to play. Strangely enough, the player recognizes the album art, album title and name. Just not the artist.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is their a work around? I have tried other music players, but all yield the same result.

Someone posted a similar issue several weeks ago. Try downloading PowerAmp from the market and see if they play. It seems the stock player cannot play everything.

Thanks for the tip. That did the trick. I just wish the stock player worked because it has a much more tablet friendly interface.
thx this happened to me too. my evo, xbox and pc can play all of my music but for some reason my xoom cant play about 3 albums
For those still having this issue, I have isolated my issue. While all the mp3 files that have given me problems play fine everywhere else, the Xoom is a little more particular. This happened to me years ago with one of my iPods.
I tried resyncing the files. I tried editing and updating the track tags and album art, but none of that worked. Finally, I reripped an album and that did it. Most of my mp3s were ripped 10 years ago by the old musicmatch program. That has caused problems in the past, but none for quite a while. I have successfully synced about 20 of the 100 songs that were giving problems.
If it matters, I have used Windows Media Player and iTunes to rip the problem songs.
Yeh IV found these problems are 99% due to problematic rips. These days I just use windows media player on mp3 320 then mp3tag to change any additional.al stuff or embed the album art.
Some programs don't correctly meet the standard and some staggers just make a mess.

[Q] Can't play M4a files?

So I decided to start using my phone as a music player and transferred over a few albums that I'd ripped to itunes. The M4a files came over fine as did the album art but not the artist. The real problem is the player won't play the files. Says file type not supported.
I'm using or trying to use the stock player. Any thoughts or guidance?
My searches just found some Galaxy Tab references so I'm asking here.

[Q] WMA not supported?

I recently flashed to MIUI, but I've been using the MIUI music app for quite some time. After flashing the newest ROM, still using MIUI, the media player isn't recognizing any of my WMA music files, only MP3.
I'm pretty sure previous versions of MIUI music have supported WMA, is there a plugin I can get or anything? I've tried looking through the settings but haven't found anything relative =/
Bumping for a look, anybody have a clue how to include these?
Ok, last try then I'll give up
Try to change music player... Maybe PowerAmp... Btw... Don't use wma in my opinion.....

Wma is a ****ty format. Use flac or mp3

Miui Android and WMA Files

I'm currently runnuing MIUI Android GingerBread ROM 2.4.20 and I must say it's simply the best ROM I've ever used. It's almost as if it was built with me in mind.
Fast, stable, easy to use and on the eye interface. Brilliant.
I've installed and run the ICS version and as good as it is, there's one thing that's missing: What happened to the music player's ability to play WMA files? I have over 400 albums that I've encoded in WMA format due to small file size (1/5 of mp3 filesize) and I honestly cannot tell the difference between mp3 and wma over my headphones and in the car. Any ROM tips and/or advice on how to do this avoiding 3rd party app like TTPod? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mayby not the best solution but dude... WMA ? why WMA ? WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO... WINDOWS... dude.. It's like making FLAC file from MP3, you CAN do it but WHY?!
I would go for MP3 using VBR which give you good quality and lower file size or lower the bitrate there is less problem with MP3 than with WMA. But it's your way to store music. And if you happy with that - thats great.
Did you try .. winamp for android ? --- oh, you didnt want 3rd party app...
Like I said, WMA was made by Microsoft which is close for community. So I doube there is a easy/clean way to play those files without 3rd party apps.
try other music player like winamph

Now your on ics, you can use the great apollo music player. Dont know for sure if it supports wma though.. but i gues it does. I'll post .apk file bellow.
This is stock music player from cm9. It is very good, downloads album covers by its self. It fully supports lockscreen control, notification bar control and widget control (apollo wodget that is )
Just give it a try, you wont regret it
P.s.1: sorry for bad english
P.s.2: hit thanks if i helped and apollo can play .wma files!
P.s.3: i'll upload file to 4shared, will post later this evening

4shared link to apollo.apk
Sometimes you have to wait 20 seconds, but ik hope that wont be a problem
Edit: just confirmed that when you download it via mobile, you will need to sign up. Via laptop browser is free and you dont need to sign up.

I dont get it, just because it isn't open source (why would you actually need open soucre music files....), they make a music player wich supports a lot of music types, but they dont let it play the world second-most used music file type... that sucks... but what can i do about it...
well there are other music players in the store wich are also awsome, like doubletwist player! I used it i while, before i got to apollo, i hop that solves your problem

Android and WMA
Thanks one and all for your advice.
As mentioned, my choosing WMA files is purely practical asI can store 4 times as many MP3's on my phone.
I had to settle for PowerAmp which not only supports WMA files but also seems to read all ID3 tags perfectly (on MIUI GB I had to download ID3Fixer to read artist tag).
I'm back with a quick update: Still no joy getting WMA files to play on stock music player on MIUI 2.8.10. I did flash King Soft 2.10.26 and though I did not find the ROM stable enough for me, the stock player did play WMA files (without ID3 Tagging as with older versions). I attempted copying the .apk into the .zip file before flashing but after flashing, Music doesn't appear as one of the applications. Apparently this may have to do with how system apk's are deeply embedded within the ROMS on JellyBean. If anyone has any advice in porting system app, (Specifically Music.apk) from JB to ICS, I'm all ears.
For those still interested, you'll be happy to know that the MIUI ROM 3.2.8 supports WMA playback. Kudos must go the the developers who knowingly/unknowingly fixed this issue. Unfortunately the issue of artist ID3 tags not being read persists but you can download the ID3Tag Fix app and it'll sort it out for you. I'm still using PowerAmp for this and my collection of now 4,500+ music files still fits comfortably on my 8GB memory card.

[Q] Walkman app FLAC, bluetooth

First of all, can someone confirm whether it will play an album as a flac file via cue.
Secondly once connected to car's bluetooth playing the above flac, would it display on the car dash the particular song title rather than the name of the whole flac file?
Thirdly, what is the bluetooth car phone performance, does it connect to the car automatically once it's been paired originally. recent calls, phonebook options?
FLAC title's still don't seem to be completely supported, you'll most likely just get the file names.
I recommend you to convert your stuff to 400Kbps (VBR) AAC's. The difference in sound quality should not be audible at all on the Xperia Z (I didn't) and if you do the conversion with Foobar you don't lose any metadata.
I haven't verified it but I'm pretty sure single FLAC+CUE doesn't work.

Is there anyone who can actually confirm this?
Also what about the second, third question in the OP?
Just tried, no cue support in Walkman app. Can't help with car/Bluetooth questions, not using it.

Thanks.
Would it play the flac file at all, even without cue support?
Yes no problem with that, FLAC is supported.

Its been a while.... But did someone here try playing FLACC files via DLNA?
I always get that 'could not play file' while MP3 work fine.
Using BubbleUPNP also works fine.
