Default [A700] flac files won't play

Hello,

can anybody tell me how to play flac files, especially with BubnleUPNP and MortPlayer.?

By the way I rooted my Tab with the Method 2 from the according Thread.


Cheers

When I had an Android phone I bought Power Amp, that app ruled, it played any audio I threw at it, well worth the money. For video I use Dice Player on the A700, and that also supports FLAC.

Okay together with the guy from BubbleUPNP we found out that the default player crashes with an unknown exception. I rooted my tablet and deleted some apps. Maybe I deleted to much. Does anyone knows what is needed to play flac.?

Thanks to the BubbleUPNP Support I have following information for peolpe who may have the same problems.
I noticed that some FLAC files do play and some don't.

These flacs do not play on Android because they are non-Subset FLACs, a variety of FLAC that
may not play by all decoders.

I've created an issue for Google to hopefully add support for them:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35348


Short explanation: these FLACs where probably encoded with the --lax option of the FLAC encoder.


EDIT: how can I mark the thread as solved?

I have the same problem. I head read somewhere else that it was the inclusion of ID3 tags that caused them to not play but I removed the ID3 tags and they still didn't play. I hope that Google resolves the issue in one of the next updates.
