I have found a work-round for this using a third party media file manager (won't post the name except the first letter is the one after "I" and the second bit rhymes with river). It fix the native support for FLAC it now has to act the same way? It does this for all the lossless other file formats it reads like WAV or lossless WMA(has done for years). Maybe you should look at a Win 10 environment before posting.īut at the moment, WMP does not downconvert and transcode FLAC into lossy WMA or MP3 for it's built-in sync from WMP to Windows Phone. Indeed, my Win 10 upgrade plays flac both by Groove and by WMP. (BTW there has also been a Microsoft official announcement that flac support will be extended to Windows 10 Mobile you will see flac is listed " * Support introduced in Windows 10." The same page also lists the ability to transcode If you check Microsoft Supported Audio and Video Codecs Windows 10 native support for flac was announced by Gabriel Aul (Microsoft VP WDG Engineering Systems) last year Why would Microsoft want me to install non-Microsoft apps?Īshish, your information is incorrect. I don't want to have two windows music systems on my PC and on my phone - I just want Windows 10, Windows Media Player and Windows Phone to support the same file types in the same way. flac does NOT get converted by WMP while syncing to Windows Phone into a format usable by the native player on Windows Phone. Under Win 10, the natively supported format of. wma gets converted by WMP while syncing to Windows Phone into a format usable by the native player on Windows Phone. Under Win 10, the natively supported format of lossless. I know that Windows Phone does not support. However it does not convert the now officially supported. It does the same if you use a USB stick as the sync device (and have set the WMP Device options accordingly). The size of the music file to fit on the limited space on the phone. wma is converted during the sync process to a lossy format which is usable on the Windows Phone connected to the PC. In the past, WMP converted all the formats it read for sync with Windows Phone. With Windows 10, this now includes officially. My point is that WMP has several formats it recognises and uses.
