I can't see why owners of a (fanless and silent) tablet wouldn't want to use that one as a playback tool in their home. Quote from: Porcus on 18:42:24 Apart from the OP's question: For the supported phones, there's the Voodoo Control app that can make things better. To its best potential due to not that great drivers of questionable choices from the manufacturer. Now for sound quality (a hairy topic), some phones have a very good Wolson DAC but that is somewhat not used The FLAC decoder most of the time is provided by ffmpeg. Poweramp and Deadbeef can do it but there are others. Otherwise, a separate audio player app with FLAC support must be used, bundling its own decoder. Since Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) the system FLAC decoder is always available on all devices. Most recent Samsung phones have it,Īt least in the Galaxy S line and beyond. the codec has been bundled by the manufactuerer in the system and it is available in any audio player app. for listening in good conditions at home with good headphones or plugged to a quality stereo, yes it is absolutely worth it if you care about that kind o things (as a FLAC enthusiast, I do).įor playing FLAC on Android there's 2 possiblities
for listening with crappy earbuds on the move, not so much Is it worth it to play lossless on a phone ? If you then find a encoder setting which is transparent for your files, the lossy version might very well be good enough for playback on your phone, and you save some space. You might be surprised how well lossy encodings can stand against lossless encodings in an objective test. your lossless files on PC-grade hardware and headphones. I'd suggest you to conduct a blind test of your favourite lossy codec vs. I also experienced that more often than not for mobile devices the output quality of the device and/or headphones are far more dominant for the perceived audio quality than the compression method used. Also FLACs would take up a lot more of the few gigabytes I have on my Galaxy I9000. In my experience I hardly am in situations where I would spot artifacts due to lossy compression (MP3/Vorbis) when I'm listening to music on my phone, e.g.
The question I would ask is whether you really need FLAC on your mobile phone. I didn't find any more exhaustive review or comparison, sadly. I found one review about the Galaxy Ace where frequency response and noise among other things are investigated. Audio quality not so much depends on the OS (Android) as it depends on the components of your phone and the software player itself.
