Music: missing aiff support

/e/OS Smartphone Operating System Features & Applications

Hi!

It seems aiff support is missing in /e/ music app. VLC can read it. Do you plan to suppot it ?

(Is seems: maybe aiff is supported and the error I get has another cause…)

Send to porrumentzio@riseup.net the file and I’ll try it :slight_smile:

Hmm… Legally I should not do it (copyright). I’ll try to export to aiff format anything without copyright when I’m back from holidays.

I’ll do that by my way, not worry. I only wanted to test that file because it could be a problem with the file, not the format.

Though I really think there’s no codec for AIFF

I tested different files from an album, none are read by Music and all are read by VLC.

Notice that aiff files are not displayed in “Audio files” of app Files, even if the files are in device/Music.

I think that android doesn’t support aiff types, as you can see on this page (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats) ;

but if you use a third party application, like VLC (as you already did), you can play it.

Keep in mind that VLC has always been known to open any format and codec

Can’t /e/ become an Android supporting aiff?

I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Gaël, the boss! :blush:
