ipod no flac

(1/3) > >>

bladderhead:
I have the latest version of rockbox and a ipod nano 1gen.  When I play a flac, all I get is a few clicks from the headphones for about a second, then the track ends.  Is this ipod supposed to play flac?  Do any ipods do flac?

Thx in advance

evilnick:
iPods most certainly do play .flac files. I'm assuming that your iPod nano is upgraded to the latest Rockbox build and can play other codecs without issues?

Can you try playing http://www.archive.org/download/fishbone1999-05-14.flac16/fishbone1999-05-14d2t06.flac and report back to see if that's working?

bladderhead:
It won't do anything at all now.  I think it is dead.  It was probably in the process of dying, and that is why it wouldn't do flac.

Well, it was second-hand from ebay.

gbl08ma:
By "won't do anything", what do you mean? Does it turn on?
If it doesn't turn on, try charging it for a few days (yes, days). I've seen lots of cases with iPods on this forum where the iPod has "died" and didn't turn on even the charging screen of the low-lever firmware, that got fixed after some days of continuous charge.
This happens mostly when the battery power went too low. Perhaps the battery of your second-hand iPod is dead?...

LambdaCalculus:
Do the FLAC files you tried playing work on another music player? If they're improperly encoded, they will behave funky.
