Re: music player tablet and PC combo?

and there's a plugin that lets you play flac in the standard media player too. Of course, since it doesn't read tags, it's a bit annoying.

Spotify on n8x0?

Seems some clever people managed to reverse-engineer the spotify-client and get it platform-independent.

Who'll be the first to come up with a version for our beloved tablets?

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

I'm now experimenting with somewhat lower ogg bitrates, and the results are encouraging. So I don't think it's a problem across all ogg/vorbis settings, but rather certain levels of compression...

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

And no, please, disregard my last few posts. Flac, is much nicer. A few more listening tests, and I'm back to Flac, warts in the implementation and all. My new shiny ogg-files all produce a hiss in...

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

I can but agree. That's why I first went to flac.

But when I switch between ogg and flac, still I'd say there's something I like more about the ogg at the moment. It may all be placebo of course,...

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

This thread got me started experimenting a bit... I converted a bunch of stuff into OGG at 500kbps, and actually, I think that for me that may be the best choice for music on the n800. Flac-playing...

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

That's the holy grail for quite a lot of us on here and over on head-fi. Seems getting n8x0 to play nice with a usb-dac is beyond even the most persistent attempts to tame the beast so far though.

Re: Tear 0.2 - a simple maemo WebKit browser.

Got it working now :) I'm quite impressed with the speed! A quick apt-get for libicu solved my problems once the webkitpackage was updated. Thanks for this, looks very promising!

Re: 3G data solution - wifi hotspot

Re: Can the n800 play FLAC audio format?

That's what it boils down to though... if it feels better, it is better.

My only problem is that I can't find a good flac-solution on the n800. Using mediabox, it sorts and tags correctly from the...

Re: what are you using your tablet pc for?

50% of the time it's an ebook-reader. Besides that, it's a flac-player and videoplayer.

Slightly longer answer: The N8x0's don't play "normal" video very well. There are a few different ways to re-encode your file into a more fitting format than generic divx-avi.
