FLAC support on a mobile phone.

[Cereal Killer]

Was wondering, how many phones have you found to support FLAC?
This is first I've seen but are there options, http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-t/specifications/
Also Sony say this one incorporates 'WALKMAN'

Any android based one, just install the right app.

As per Sam.

I use andless which is basic but works find on my HTC Legend.

Any Android phone can play any music files. This is not Apple ...

I have just got the Experia S. And while it does not suport flac (out of the box) the sound quality is fantastic. Sound is very detailed and has a nice top end sparkle.

The camera is also very good.

Camera and FLAC is all i need. Oh and phone, text, and email I kinda like the idea of Sony Walkman too.

The Walkman app is good too. But the standard music apps on most phones are good these days.

An iTunes search of flac gives 17 results. I presume one or two may be useful.

Update android to ice cream sandwich and it will play flac.

Or any form of cyanogenmod. My Motorola defy was abandoned by moto on 2.2, but i have now got it on to cyanogenmod 10, which is built on Android 4.1.1. one of the original driving forces behind cyanogenmod was flac support.

Well there you go then. It does support Flac as I updated it last week. I haven't got any Flacs mind, just good old MP3s

On Android, you could just simply get the PowerAmp player for flac support.

 

[Teddy Ray]

yep. poweramp.

flac playing on the droid is a piece of cake


i would root/flash a custom rom though.

like Valhalla /Voodoo Sound

On iPhone: FLAC player. Takes up a lot of space, works a treat.

Best wishes,
