![]() ![]() Of course that doesn't change that AFAICT Windows Media as become really a legacy format. This iPod I've actually still got somewhere. But for my main use on-the-go music and media player up-to 2014, I was using a 60GB Apple iPod Video with RockBox(open source firmware) on it, and that could play many formats, including WMA. But if you have an app that will sync stuff, give it a go.Ĭan't really comment about what Samsung might have removed, having only had 3 of their Android devices in 12 years, A Galaxy S in 2010(that I rooted and used CyanogenMod on it), a budget Galaxy Prime Duos I bought in Hong Kong in 2013(that was very basic), and my current Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G(that only came with the QQ Music online streaming player). I've done a little light editing using audacity, but that's all (and not for hi-fi purposes).Īnd I have to confess that I just copy stuff over USB. I can't recommend an app as I personally don't do transcoding: converting from one lossy format to another just sounds likely to give you an output which has the limitations of both formats. So what I'd actually recommend is trying whatever you decide to do with one or 2 songs and seeing whether you are happy with the result. Of course what you have to lose also depends on what you are sensitive to: I really can tell the difference between my more recent, higher quality files and older ones that were encoded when device capacities were lower and my headphones were cheaper (despite my ears being 15 years older), but others don't notice. ![]() So you might have less to lose if you translate a high quality AAC from a low quality source to a lower quality file than if you were translating a high quality AAC from a high quality source - perhaps. So if you started out with smaller MP3s and converted that to larger AACs the sound contained in the AAC will at best be no better than the original MP3 (most likely slightly worse, because you are still encoding what is decoded from the MP3, even if it's a high quality encoding). bigger than the AACs you converted them to)? You can't create information when encoding or transcoding (converting from one codec to another), you can only lose it. But were those high quality MP3s originally (i.e. You can "to convert back to MP3s", but what were the original MP3s? Generally when people discuss the quality of different formats they are assuming that you start from a high quality source and make the compressed music file from that. If you have a factor of 2 size difference then there's certainly a loss of quality there, but if you converted to MP3 of the same size as the WMA the naive expectation is that it would be worse (as MP3 is a lower quality codec for the same bitrate).īut there's a caveat. So I need to use another audio format like MP3 or AAC but I need to finagle it all quickly and painlessly (I could just move the AACs over but I think they're too big).Ĭan anyone recommend how to get the songs from my iTunes (AAC) onto my Android phone without losing too much quality or taking up too much space? Please help, I'm desperately in need of a solution.Ĭlick to expand.It depends on what quality of MP3 or WMA you converted to. I just want to keep using Samsung Music on the S22+ and don't want to install a third party app (like VLC or Poweramp). After Googling all day, I found out that Samsung Music (or is it Android) won't play WMA files on phones made after 2021. Presto! Songs are added to Galaxy S8 as WMA files and play fine on Samsung Music.Ĭut to: Yesterday, I just bought the Galaxy S22+ and it took 13 hours to transfer over my apps, music, etc, however none of the music will play in Samsung Music on the S22+. I would put the music on my S8 by connecting it to the PC, using Windows Media Player and moving my new songs over to the Sync tab on the right sidebar and click the green Sync button. ![]() I have a Galaxy S8 with Samsung Music and a huge music library on my PC as AAC files in iTunes (I used to have an ipod). ![]()
