Is it possible to make Rockbox support APE?
highsun:
I have some APEs from the whole CD. And I hope to stuff them into my x5 without seperation of APE into several pieces of WAV.
RotAtoR:
I believe there are two reasons why APE (Monkey's Audio) will not be supported in Rockbox:
1. Its license is incompatible with the GPL.
2. It most likely too processor intensive to playback in realtime on Rockbox targets.
soap:
That being said, there is no reason to go from APE to WAV. FLAC is a suitable choice.

Of course, we can convert a APE file into so big a whole FLAC file, or several pieces of FLAC files. To be FLAC needs conversion and seperation, too.

APE never really caught on much. Is the lossless compression with APE that much better than FLAC that there would be a noticeable size difference in your files???
