Well being a total newbie to Android this is probably a basic question, but ,i need to be able to play WMA files , it appears that there is no native support in Android , probably a licensing issue i guess , so are there any apps that can play WMA files that i can download for the EVO ?
thanks
Dan
The Evo will play WMA files. Sense music player has built-in support for it. Vanilla Android does not.

when i try to play the WMA file it says "unable to play this type of audio file"
these WMA files come from MS Office Communicator via email , they are my work voice mails... maybe they are a different version or something ?
any ideas ?
Dan
Not sure to be honest. All of my music is WMA format and the phone plays it fine. My Nexus needed a mod to play them.

core player now plays wmv thanks to you.
whereever you have installed your core player just put the files below into and heypresto your up and running - saving lots of time batch converting etc..
Remember you may not see the files in the device window as they are hidden files... if you want to see them I am sure you know what to do...

Hi, I've got a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone). I'm looking for a free application that can play FLAC audio files.
The inbuilt music player (in TouchFlo 3D) and the Windows Media Player recognise and play normal mp3s fine.
I have tried GS Player
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
but I didnt like the interface and still couldnt get it to read my FLAC files.
Can someone help me please?
PocketPlayer can play FLAC it's not free but well worth the price considering features.
Use TCPMP player, it's great for flac files
Look here:

I copied some FLAC files to be sim card but I cant even see them. When I open ASTRO I cant even see them? How do I play FLAC? I am trying to use WinAMP.
I've tried a crap load of Media Player apps from the market and none of them support .wma files. Has ANYONE found one that works?

I'm in to Flac, and happy that a few current Froyo ROM's now support imaginatively. Never cared for Andless and Meridian. Anyways, as far as WMA I saw this searching. I have NO IDEA of quality or if it works.
http://uploaded.to/file/n5tskd
I tried that a while ago. It does but the player is VERY buggy and doesn't support any type of playlists or playing more than one file at a time.
Yah, I wish I'd have ripped all my CD's in FLAC but because I was a WinMo fanboy and I use Windows at work, I saw no reason for anything but .WMA.
The HTC devices (sold by HTC) support .wma. I'm figuring it's a codec of some sort to add that functionality back to the stock media player. I need to read up on adding FLAC support to the stock ROM and maybe I can pick up how to do it with .WMA as well.
Thanks...

You can convert .wma to .flac pretty easily with foobar2000. I'm assuming of course that the OP has ripped everything in lossless .wma and not compressed .wma, otherwise using .flac would be pointless. If you have a huge collection of lossless music, it would be a good idea to do this to your entire collection anyway for the sake of compatibility in the future.
The other option if you're sticking with a stock N1 ROM is to convert everything to lossless .wav, which has native support in the stock ROM. For that process, you can download the Windows Media Audio Lossless to Wave Converter directly from Microsoft.
Hi,
I searched everywhere, either I did it wrong way or there is isn't any available.
A video player for avi/divx/mkv/mp4 formats with majority codecs supported?
Examples:
GoodPlayer for iPhone
DicePlayer for Android
Hope I have posted in the right section..
This is built into to Windows phone you just drag whatever format movie into your Zune then sync with device and bam it plays.

Agreed, but some media files zune will not add.
For Example:
AVI file with Xvid+AC3 = Zune says 'media type not valid'
MKV file = Zune will not allow to even drag drop this extension
So no option but to convert. Any one??
Even when you drag "compatible" video formats to the phone, Zune STILL converts them, so you may as well do it anyway.

Thats what I don't want to do. Atleast for directly playable files.
Please suggest if there is any app vailable.
Not at this moment..
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
that's the only thing i hate on wobdoes phone and the omnia 7. such a big screen and powerfull hardware, but most of my videos won't play. indeed most files are .avi coded with xvid/divx, and most files with higher resolution are .mkv.
even crappy bada phones play those files without any problems.
Big question here: Is it even possible that someone develops a videoplayer like moboplayer on android? or doesn't ms allow other media player or isn't there any access to necesarry api's? And if the published such videoplayer, how would we get these video files on our phones without itunes trying to convert them?
On itunes there was a possibility with vlc player until it had to be removed.
Hi guys,
I'm currently using Folder Player but I find it a bit slow and it won't play many formats (flac, etc). I was wondering what people are using these days. One must have item for me is that it MUST be folder based (like Folder Player) and FREE. Any suggestions are welcome.
Currently the most popular is "PowerAmp Music Player" . It plays most format of music files.

I've read good things about it but it doesn't display the folders in a Windows like way.

"PlayerPro Music Player" can be found in Play store and also you can choose songs from folders.

You play flac on your phone? Even if you have the best audio compression, the speaker is crap anyway, so no point in playing those, unless you use very good Headphones...
Try ttpod
