Trouble playing 24 bit Apple Lossless files via Rockbox

<< < (3/4) > >>

Chronon:
I don't have any ALAC to test at the moment either.  As far as I know iTunes is the primary tool to create ALAC encoded files.  I was not planning to install iTunes on my system so I don't have access to a way to encode these files.

happykev:
yes iTunes can encode wav files to ALAC (Apple Lossless).

I deleted all 24/96 ALAC files from my ihp-120 and I'm gonna try to play a 24/96 file in FLAC format to see if it plays properly on my player.

If so, I'll just convert my 24/96 ALAC files back to FLAC.

I am also having issues during normal playback (mp3 and ALAC). Often during a song, the player "chokes" on the song and jumps to the next one. Is this a problem with the Rockbox build or possibly my hard drive?

Thanks-
Kevin

If you're recompressing your files, you might consider converting them (at least for use with Rockbox) to 44.1 kHz, maybe 16 bits as well. Rockbox will convert the audio to that format before sending it to the output anyway, and the conversion to 44.1 kHz is known to not be of very high quality. ;)

happykev:
yeah I could try that too but I used to be able to play 24/96 FLAC just fine, even if the iriver does downsample to 16/44.1 before output.

Lear:
I just tried a 24-bit 96 kHz ALAC in the simulator and that didn't work (it crashes within the decoder). There hasn't been any codec-specific changes for seven months, so unless you upgraded from a very old build, I'm not sure what the problem could be.
