I highly doubt there is, but I was wondering since root has been achieved, if FLAC support can be possible or does the ROM have to be recompiled to support it? I know 3.1+ supports it natively, but since the bootloader is still locked at the moment...
I use poweramp to listen to flac formatted music on my phone running GB. So you could give it a try on the NT and see if it works.
i use power amp on my nook color running stock 1.2 fw rooted... so power amp should work for flac files on the nook tablet.
I know poweramp works and plays the FLAC files, but I'm wondering if it recognizes FLAC as a music file. From what I remember when I had an Inspire 4g, android won't recognize it (unless it's cyanogenmod) so you don't see it in the music library from android or poweramp (unless it changed and they made their own library reading function/database).

Use the folder view instead of library in PowerAmp.
All my flac files show up in poweramp library. They are sitting in a folder on my sd card called Music.
there is also an app on the marketplace called extended media scanner. the latest power amp also can read FLAC via its library, independent of the Android OS.
I am using power amp on the nook color, with flac. one piece of advice i have for using the older version. put the flac files on your SD card rather than the EMMC

Hey all, just asking about a problem that I have with the music player. I have an ipod, so I have to use itunes and have been ripping my CDs in apple lossless format. For some reason, despite the HD2 supposedly supporting the m4a format, the player just skips the song every time. Anyone know how to solve this (if possible)?
Sorry if someone posted this already. I don't think there is DRM if I rip it with my own computer.... right?
No, no DRM. (Note: even the stuff you buy through iTunes has been free of DRM for years.)
The problem here is that the HD2, like most non-iPod music playing devices does not come with out-of-the-box support for Apple Lossless.
Container != codec. The HD2 can handle the m4a container format just fine, but that doesn't mean it knows what to do with the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) stream inside.
Possible solutions:
1) convert files
2) find something that plays ALAC on Windows Mobile
If you happen to be using Mac OS X, the first option's easy using the awesome XLD. Not sure about easy Windows solution, but you can probably use iTunes to convert ALAC to WAV at least.
Second option, I have no idea.
Awesome. I'll check it out. Thanks!
I was exploring the possibility of using the GTab as a music player in my car. While trying this out, I discovered that when the music (WMAs) is on a 16GB (Class 2) card, GTab will not find the music. The music, however, is there and I can find and play the tracks via iFilemanger or Sniffer but usually will show as Unknown Artist/Album.
When those same music tracks are placed on a 4GB Card, GTab finds them just find and all details show in the music player. For S&Gs I ripped two albums to MP3 and loaded them onto the 16GB card, GTab finds them with no problem.
I have tried WinAmp, Zimly and the basic stock music player. Currently running TNT Lite 4.2.5.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried poweramp?
You change from library to file
Two day trial but i bought it sooner

I havent tried that but I suspect depending on how much music you have, that the scanner isn't finding the music or isn't done scanning when you attempt to play it. The scanning process seems to be universal somehow and most players depend on it. Maybe it builds a temporary database of some sort? No clue - devs would maybe know that.
I use several apps, Doubletwist, Mixzing and Winamp in addition to the Music player and of them all, only Doubletwist seems to work independently of the scanner and always sees and plays the music. There are times when the others will see but can't play anything.
Also, it's not so great a device for playing music long term as after a while for some reason you get some "time jumps" in music. Thats how I refer to it because it's definitely not skipping. It will jump to the previous song, then back to the one currently playing, then to the next, then all the way back to the one it started time jumping on. It does this usually when I suspect there's some clocking down going on inside. Never when I just start the music or soon after....generally hours later.
Good Luck.
Do you have a .nomedia file somewhere in the root of your 16gb card or in your music directory? It might be causing the gtab to skip the scan of your card. Not having the .nomedia file though will erase any videos on your card so i would suggest placing the .nomedia file in your video directory but keep it out of your music folder.
I was hoping to do something similar and use the gtab as a car music player and have a 500 GB portable drive plugged in to it to give me something similar to the Archos 5 internet tablet for music playback but I can't seem to find a good way to do this
I have never had good results with wma files. I suggest converting them to mp3. Mixing, stock, cubed, they always played them weird and had missing tags and data when viewed. Convert to native mp3 support and save yourself tons at hassle.
Oh and +1 for power amp. The full mixing board and pre amp along with the ability to save settings and apply settings to specific songs and albums is mind blowing. The album art downloader is sweet too. Realy hard to go back to any other player. They had my money within 2days of the trial period.

More on music
Thanks for the lead on PowerAmp, nice app and found the music right away. Interestingly, after adding nearly 8 gigs of music to the card, the libaray found all of the tracks.

BINGO!
Thank you.
Putting the .nomedia folder into a folder called Video cured my scan issues on the 16gb SD card.
I never had a problem with either of the VEGANtab versions, when I reverted back to Stock 4349 I had trouble.
What audio formats does the Streak play?
I never had so much trouble looking up the answer to such a simple question.
So experimentation shows that it doesn't play lossless wma files.
Is there a lossless format that will play on it?
get PowerAMP it plays plenty of file types:
mp3, mp4/m4a (including alac), ogg, wma*, flac, wav, ape, wv, tta (* some wma pro files may require NEON support)
I love it, it's automated, so when I plug in my headphones (even BT ones) it resumes play.
the basic player is just that, basic.
I'd link it, but I'm new, look it up on appbrain.

Good question. I can only speak for FLAC support as I don't use anything else.
The only Android media player that I know of that recognises FLAC is PowerAMP
http://powerampapp.com/
I second @bugmenotacc's endorsement.
I tried PowerAmp and it didn't play the album I ripped to flac.
I read the help section this morning (amazing what you can learn when you do that) and found out about selecting folders instead of the android library and lo and behold flac files play. Looks like I'll probably end up buying PowerAmp.
Yes it gets a bit confusing, glad you got it sorted too.
I loaded about 6 albums to my sd card today and set Android Settings to pull in the album artwork. Which all happened very quickly and seamlesly.
It is probably old fashioned of me but I prefer to set a Music folder rather than always have the app search my device for files.
Enjoy the app.
One of the biggest selling points of the Archos G9 for me, was the ability to play all kinds of filetypes through the video and music players. I was somewhat disappointed though, when I found out that I had to manually browse through my external storage to play the files I wanted to play. My external hdd is set to autobackup my laptop so that means finding files is folder hell. I was wondering if there is any way to get my files to show up so that I could scroll through them just as if they had been on the internal storage. This would make things so much more convenient. Any suggestions?

Well I kinda want the default player because of its priceless mkv support. I've noticed in the file browser you can highlight an internal media folder (dcim, Music, Video) and select options in Media Share. These are the only folders that you can set share types, which I assume includes the folder into the media library. Maybe there is some way that we could give other folders special permissions to allow them to be shared like these.
I have exactly the same problem. Had in mind to use the G9 as multimedia devices streaming music and video from my NAS to my TV. I had expected that the G9 had native support for Network drives, but it doesn't. At least I could not find it. The best alternative I found is BubbleUPnP. This app detects my Synology NAS and I can start any video from it. For Video you can select which player to use. Music is played with the build in player, which I don't like. I prefer PowerAmp. An app that brings a kind of XBMC to a tablet is what I need.
Loving my Xperia S but one niggle I was hoping someone could assist with (new to Android too).
My music is all FLAC and I am using PowerAmp to play these files on the phone. I'm manually copying the files to the internal memory using Windows 7 explorer and when I copy these FLAC files I get the warning below:
"Your device might not be able to play of view this file"
I can tell it to copy anyway but I suspect that this is also the reason why I can't various software packages to sync FLAC files to the device either.
Is there any way to tell Windows (or the Phone) that it is compatible with FLAC files?
If you are syncing, it's better to convert the file format to the compatible ones. If you are just copy pasting, then it shouldn't have issue.
holy ****, i posted in the wrong thread
I want to sync as FLAC rather than transcoding
FLAC and Sola
Can the phone play FLAC using the default player or do I have to use an external player?
Just skip it. Sometimes Windows says this even if the phone/device has native support of the codec

CyanogenMod supports FLAC out of the box. If you want to play FLAC files on stock firmware, then I'd recommend JetAudio player (there is free, ad supported version on Play Store). Also in this case, ignore the "Your device might not be able to play of view this file" warning
Use sd card mounter for Xperia t,look for it on the forum. You will be able to mount as a normal mass storage device,not a mtp,so no restrictions about copying some files. Btw, I play my flacs on poweramp too,on my Xperia u.
