Mp3 vs. Wma crisis - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

So I have all of my music on my phone from my computer and it only plays the mp3. Most of my music is in Wma format. I've looked for music player apps on the marketplace but none of them are playing Wma. What do I do??

Convert your music to mp3.

How can I do that? Lol I'm a noob

just doing a market search on WMA shows me a few players claiming to support the format. If not just google WMA to MP3 convertor, I'm sure there are plenty of those available.

Try this. It's a good program and should do the job. It's called Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

WMA files??

am I the only one who cant get WMA files to run???? half of my music is WMA and I cant get it to play in android at all.....
any suggestions on a fix??
http://www.jodix.com/ worked for me.
yea I was hoping I wouldnt have to convert them all back to mp3.... I ripped them into wma to save on space on my old phone to begine with... even made sure there was no DRM protection on the files so that they would play on most anything... but looking around it seems there isnt any real support for WMA files on android.... some phone will play them(looks like most of them have NEON support in the chips though) but most android phones dont do WMA
thanks for the link that looks like some decent freeware apps to convert files though!!!!!!
PowerAMP. Should be stock player. Awesome. Paid though. No need to covert it plays all files.
Kyo M6000 Rooted with NoAds or Bloatware.
Yea that looks like me only option.. poweramp looks realy nice! Thanks for the suggestion

it is super nice. EQ, with preamp, Cover Art, all kinds of stuff. Plus the major bonus of not having to hastle with converting all your WMA into MP3 and so on. Just put the music on your SD and go. WAY nicer then the stock music app
only some wma files play on my defy
I just paid for upgrade to power amp and still some wma files do not play on my defy. using 2.2.1 and have always been able to play only some of my wma files, even with stock music player. I even plugged the phone into a pc that does not have these music files on it, and was able to navigate to them on the sd card and play fine from the pc, so can't be corrupt filers right? have tried many diff't android market players but same results on all. any ideas? thanks.
Its a rights issue i would imagine. Never had a problem. Try writing the application developer.

Movies on galaxy tab

I am relatively new to android from a blackberry. I have a verizon galaxy tab and I have downloaded ttorrent in the market and when I download movies (so far I have tried avi and mp4 format) and try to view them they do not play with the media player and I do not get an error message it just goes to a black media player screen and doesnt play. I have tried implayer and arcmedia media players in the market and when I try to play the files it plays but with no sound and says I need to download coral player at real.coralplayer.com which apparently is a media player for a comp. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone have any advice on what media player to use. Or if anyone has any recommenda rt ions on apps that allow you to download movies and watch (preferably free). Thanks

Generally i dont encourage piracy so i will assume that you legally own these movies (read forum rules). Bottomline you cant watch this movie until you convert them into friendly format for the galaxy tab.
Follow this guide: http://www.thetechjournal.com/how-to/convert-and-watch-movies-on-samsung-galaxy-tabhow-to.xhtml
It should play just fine, no need off a other player, the stock one is as good and even better then the one's you find at market.
Just be shore that it not have DTS,DD audio, because Galaxy tab can't handle that audio.

Unless the Verizon one is crippled, those files should play just fine as the tab supports DivX, mp3, h264 and AAC among the other things. Could be an audio issue, but honestly i have trouble imagining an avi with an audio stream that's more than stereo. Then again, i've seen some of the weirdest stuff, like an h264 video inside an avi...

I used this workflow to convert some of the Blu-ray rips we have on our HTPC, as well as converting a few SD movies, worked perfectly for my tab. Movies play in stock apps.

From a quick Google, if you are being asked to download CoralPlayer, then the movies you are downloading are not actually usable, and you are being scammed.
What application allows us to download paid movies similar to iTunes? I have an iPad but prefer to use my Tab for watching flicks instead?
Thanks for the info. After further te st ting the only movies that seem to play for me.so far are mp4 movies. I have been using t torrent to dl movies. Anyone else have any other recommended apps through market.

Try installing mvideoplayer and vitalplayer. Those two should play everything else.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
I installed summer player and it played everything for me even rmvb format.

Dude you were so right...this is by far the best player out there right now! Thanks for the tip!
mobo player is very nice...one fantastic feature is that is sizes the video to the full screen. I was watching avatar on my train ride and the stock video player had it centered and not full screen....finished watching it wtih mobo!
thanks for the tip.
check diceplayer on market (GB required )
you can play 1080p MKV+DTS(or Flac/Ogg)

Here are top 5 Android movie APPs for movie lovers. You can use some of these APP to download or watch movies on Galaxy tab conveniently: " Netflix (free, streaming: US only)", "IMDb Movies & TV (free)", "VLC Direct Pro ($2.86)", "Movie Collection (free, ad-less version for $2.99)" and "GetGlue (free)". In addition, you also can rip DVD TO GALAXY TAB, but you need to consider the issue of legality. Good Luck !
Mobo player is great.
It now has support for subtitles within MKV containers without having to extract them. subtitles are great for foreign movies or for the hearing impaired and anime.
It also supports selecting audio track from within the container file. ie, Eng, JP audio track selection. I see a bright future for this app.

[Q] OGG music file support??

I see that the NOTE uses ogg files for the camera sounds, but the stock music player and winamp says the phone doesn't play them.
Glad that they will play FLAC but why no OGG? If someone can confirm a player that works, perferably free or not £3+ I'll be happy.
I can't get my head around why they won't play!
Thanks in Advance ppl!
Not sure about other ROM versions, but on my LQ2 the stock music player handles ogg files without problems

Trouble playing videos and music

I'm very new to the android OS, the note 3 is my first smartphone. Recently I copied a bunch of albums, some Flac but mostly mp3, and a few episodes of a tv show with ext m4v.
I tried joe Vlc but it only plays the audio for videos and only searches music by track. Kind of annoying. SO I gave the stock Video app a try, it plays the shows but at aweful quality.
So I'd just like a few recmmendations for an all in one media player. I've used vlc on pc m whole life. I'm just used to the convenience. APpreciate any suggestions.
Try MX player.

There are tons of players. One that I use and it's free is MX Player in the Playstore. MP4 should play on most any player. Are you sure you converted with audio?
