Description Kerry 2009-08-24 18:53:35 UTC
Rythymbox relies on HAL to provide default file formats for devices.  FLAC files are converted to .m4a files when transferred to the device but the device cannot read these files.

This also applies to other Nokia phones such as N81. I think it was introduced in commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal-info/commit/?id=d19b5591cb49342e0fda1e7790231c2d0c48fa5c

There is another issue in the forementioned commit as well: not all Nokia Series 60 phones identify themselves as S60. I guess I should file another bug about that.

Same problem in media-player-info, reassigning.
Comment 3 Martin Pitt 2010-03-25 14:05:01 UTC
m4a is mpeg container with AAC audio. So is it just the file extension, the AAC codec, or the mpeg container which causes trouble here? I. e. which mime type should be removed from m-p-i, audio/aac or audio/mpeg (that would be strange -- there are really players which can't do .mp3?) I suppose it's AAC then, but I'd like confirmation for this.

Thanks!
