Is Lossless Audio Possible With Xmms
« on: February 02, 2008, 05:13:07 am »
I have just got back my zaurus 3200 (CF slot had to be fixed) and loaded pdaXii13 akita (works great, meanie).

Is it possible to get xmms to play lossless audio like flac or aac (apple lossless)? Or are there alternative apps that will do it? I installed libflac but do not know how to setup xmms to use it so assume something else needs to be loaded.


Many thanks.
3200 from conics.net (switched from sharp to pdaxii13)

Not sure about XMMS, but you could try Quasar Media Player which is available for pdaXii13. It supports FLAC and the iTunes MP4 Container Format, so it can also read tags from FLAC, AAC and ALAC files. MPlayer wll do the playback part. Check my signature for the link.

Thanks!
As for the volume, there seems to be a problem in volume applet that comes included with pdaXrom/pdaXii13. Here is a more complete description:

There is a modified version of MPlayer available that supposedly offers better performance for WMV files: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=25184
