FLAC playback currently depends on your device supporting it. MMA 2.0 is said to come with it's own codec support.

I am looking to purchase MM, but like others users have mentioned here, most of my collection is FLAC format as well. I am a bit surprised to learn that at the moment it is not possible to reproduce it on Android Auto. Any plans in the short or medium term to include this format natively in MM?

And here we are at the end of February 2021 and there is still no support for WMA. I did a search for other music players for Android phones and the best option IMO is the one from FiiO, which plays pretty much everything you throw at it. It is a shame because I really like MediaMonkey for my PC and I recommend it all the time. I do have a lot of WMA files standard WMA, WMA Pro and WMA lossless and I don't want to be converting lossy WMA files to MP3.

MMA can only play file types natively supported by the device. Not all devices support WMA.

MMA want play WMA Files on my Android phone. How to do that it works?

Hi hal55,
Can you please open support ticket and supply us with one FLAC file sample we can analyze.

I'm suspecting that file headers are corrupted which will not show on PC but will show on Android device which is more sensitive.

Additionally it would be great if you can send Debug log after you get the error and write the log id back here for us to analyze.

I've just downloaded MM onto my smartphone, running android. Although MP3 files play fine FLAC files do nothing. Nearly all my music collection is Flac files on a memory stick. I know MM plays Flac on my Windows laptop without problem, and I'm just surprised they don't play on my android phone. Can anyone help?

Guest (re the FLAC playback on the droid turbo): Do your FLAC files have an FLC extension? I'm wondering if that's the root of the problem in your case?

twostepcub: do the synced wma files play in Google Music? I ask because that would let us know whether your device really supports wma--it's possible that it reports to MMW that wma is 'supported' even though it isn't.

Voltron: can you confirm what device/android version you're using?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I've had a bear of a time getting my music synched on to my android turbo 2 with android 6.0 and mma version 1.1.3.0554, only to find another problem just as big.

Half of my music that I've synced is in the WMA format, and while it's synced, it simply will not play in MMA. It works fine if I bring up PowerAmp (i still have a trial version of that from when I was testing apps) but I certainly don't want to have two different apps just to play music. That's insane. I've checked the "options" from my device on the MMW tools and WMA shows as an accepted format. Anybody have any insight into what to do? Again, I'm at wit's end. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I have MediaMonkey Pro for Android, but it won't play any Flac files (all are 16/44.1 ripped from CD using MediaMonkey). I downloaded PowerAmp and all of the files play great (and I like the interface better). I'm kind of annoyed about paying for MM Pro right now, since I specifically purchased it to play Flac on my device.

Well, like I said I just reripped the couple CD's to 320MP3. So FLC is a non issue for me now.

Any idea when the codec will become available for MM for android?

I guess you should generate a debug log. Can't think of a reason why they wouldn't play (FLAC). WMA won't play because android does not support them natively.

MP3's play.
OGG's play.
FLC's do not and specifically says CODEDC missing.
WMA's just skip with no mention of a missing codec.
Poweramp plays FLC's.

Droid Turbo.

Yes, I was referring to WMA files which are not natively supported by android. FLAC and ogg should play.

Does any type of files play on your device, and which? What is the device?
