FLAC won't play

metaldood · 05-31-2012, 00:01

I am on 1.15 and bought some music from Bandcamp. Downloaded the Flac version and the C2 just won't play them. I can select the track but it does not start playing.

Also the player starts freezing up, very slow and mostly unresponsive. I have to reset it by - + volume keys.

Code:

The problem is likely bit depth of that file; you'll need to convert to 16 bits.

how about bit rate, i found most of all flac which over 1500 kbps will not be able to play, henve the device hangs

IvanTea · 06-15-2012, 11:47

thanks anyways for the notion of bit depth, now converting all that was 24originally into 16bit, danke

metaldood · 07-02-2012, 12:58

Oh..completely forgot about it. Yes the bit depth is issue. I converted to 16 and all works fine.
