Brilliant. With the addition of FLAC support, PowerAMP now has nuthin' over PlayerPro...and PlayerPro has, IMO, a better GUI.

Still the best player for mp3 but it still does NOT play Flac on Droid X.

DeaDBeeF is the only player I have found that plays Flac.

Thanks for the update though!

do we need to install the DSP pack v2 if using Android 2.3?
The description up there seems "no", but it does say it offers huge improvement in playing wma, ogg, m4a/mp4 etc.
Can someone clarify?

I've read this on PlayerPro forum :

"Flac support has been added to the latest DSP pack v2.0 release. Note that PlayerPro still relies on the Android media scanner/media store to scan and browse media files. So if the latter can't read flac files, then PlayerPro's browsers will not show any flac files and you won't be able to read them even if the DSP pack v2.0 supports them.

So you will be able to read flac files if:
1) Your android phone supports this file format (i.e. media store/library is populated with flac files)
2) You have installed the DSP pack 2.0.

A custom media scanner/store will be added in a future release."

I read that too, it's lame.

DeaDBeeF plays Flac just fine on my Droid X.

Yeah, but it is the only advantage, besides that DeadBeef is a century late (at least).
Out of scope question, why do you leave files in flac ? It takes a lot of storage, even on a 32 Gb card, compared to a good ogg ?

tried PlayerPro on my HTC Incredible and, sadly, FLAC files do not show up. agree with Bummed that PlayerPro's explanation is lame.

to bigsatan's question, a lot of my music is in FLAC because I ripped it from CD and FLAC is lossless, whereas OGG is lossy. you're right that FLAC files are large, but for me, it's more of a pain to reconvert than just dump the FLAC onto my card and have less of it.

exactly the same situation here; except that I leave flac on my computer, and convert to mp3 (for car reader that only supports mp3 and wma) or to ogg (for cowon ), because even with 64 gigs storage on cowon it is too short; by the way I doubt the android mobile is fine enough so we can distinguish a flac from a good ogg (made in archive mode level)

I have nothing wrong with FLAC but I just wonder if those in here who are using FLAC have an audophile system? Otherwise, its really pointless to have flac because i gaurantee the differences you might hear on just headphones will be almost indistinguishable. But, to each their own.

I like this player but i prefer Power Amp. If this player would allow for long pressing the play/pause button to stop the player...this would convert me. it's a very minor thing but i always hated players that just pause the music instead of stopping it. I'll keep it on my device to switch it up from time-to-time.
