Any idea how to play .wmv music files on an S3 (International version).
The Music Player can see .mp3 music files, but not my .wmv ones

There are several apps in the market that show they reconize the .flac format, Meridian Media player, Audio Player, AMPlayer....ect. Search FLAC in the market.

okay, thank you.
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.
So I did do a search before posting and the only topics I had found were referring to mp3 on an external sd card... I do NOT have an sd card installed.... so far I tried dragging and dropping the files on the phone and then I removed those and used kies to load the music to the phone...
but if I go to music it just keeps saying, sorry, this player does not support this type of file?
Oh, the weird part.... some songs work fine, only certain ones give me that error... which really makes it hard to shuffle..... all files are mp3!
Suggestions?
Are the mp3 files vbr?
Seems like my SGS2 cannot play some vbr mp3 files.
not that I know of, lol.. I just looked at the files that will not play and it does not mention that anywhere, thx

No issue here with vbr mp3 files
Dear experts,
as I am not willing to waste time on converting .wma files, I am looking for a reasonable .wma player for my SGS2.
I've tried the following ones thus far:
- PowerAmp - didn't play the files
- Magic AVI/WMA Player - stops after playing a single file. No options at all
- VLC - all files appear with the same name (probably reading the ID3 tag), so I've no idea where am I. No settings to change this behavior.

Try mxplayer with it's codec! It supports a wide variety of formats! almost any video files! I am using it and working fine
and well i am not an expert :good:
Hi,
I've been using MX Player for watching movies since I've bought my phone and I adore it.
Though it didn't play any .wma files. Perhaps I should check out the codec, I saw it on the
market, but I've also read that there is nothing like codecs on Android...
Btw. I could play .wma files with BS Player and with VPlayer, it's quite OK, but they are video
players and not perfect for audio files though :-/
mortplayer has wma support.

No, it doesn't! I've already tried it... No luck :-/
you should go in the play market and make a search on wma. it has returned a loooong list.
winamp, realplayer, ttpod, double twist, jet audio and many more...

Thanks for the advice, but I've already done this and the results are potatic !! Either the apps turn out to not support .wma
or the apps themselves are soooo poor, that they are unusable...
Did you solve your wma problem? I have a friend, who has a lot of wma files, but can not play them on her S2.

.caf == Core Audio Format, is an Apple defined media container that can hold a variety of audio and/or video encoded content.
Try MX Player, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
or Mobo Video Player Pro, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobo.video.player.pro&hl=en
Thanks MX player did the trick. Its annoying though i have many "good" music players such as poweramp and all could not play the .caf file which is very dissapointing.

I agree. I really don't know why Apple thought we needed yet another container format when there are already so many out there, unless it was to try to play the vendor lock-in game
iPhone doesn't support playing CAF files.
To play CAF on iPhone, I use a software named Faasoft Audio Converter to convert CAF to MP3, AAC, AC3, etc.
