Question about music player on Moment

Has anyone tried playing an Ogg/Vorbis (.ogg) music file on the Moment?

The Hero works fine with these files, although I didn't see it specifically listed as suppored.

95% of my music collection is in Ogg/Vorbis format, and although I can automatically trans-code it while moving it to the phone with Amarok, it's a lot easier to just drag and drop the files.

Re: Question about music player on Moment

I can't confirm or deny as I don't have any Ogg files to test offhand, but as this is stock Android, it's also the stock music player, which does support Ogg by default. Samsung and/or Sprint would've had to explicitly disable support, which would make little sense for them to do.

So, most probably yes they are supported. I'll convert something to Ogg and give it a try when I'm at a computer.

Re: Question about music player on Moment

Thanks pking!

I thought I had heard some time ago, (could have been the original release of the G1 (Or well before that - I've been following Android since it's announcement)...??) that Android did NOT have support for ogg/vorbis at that time. Maybe I read something wrong, or my memory is getting bad LOL

I'm glad to hear there is support in base android!

Re: Question about music player on Moment

It looks like inititially Ogg wasn't supported (probably way back in the G1 release days), but was added shortly after.

The developer threads on the Google Android project site mention there may be an issue reading metadata ( track / artist / album info ) from files labelled as .oga (Ogg Audio), however the .ogg extension seems to be recognized and parsed just fine. Either way the track should play.

Ogg Video (.ogv) support on the other hand.. no idea.

For example: Type "What BlackBerry phones do you sell?" instead of "cell phone" Type "How do I change my password?" instead of "password" Type "What plans do you offer for families?" instead of "plans" Try checking your spelling and grammar to help get the most accurate results. Correct capitalization is not required, but can sometimes help to locate names and acronyms.
