Android to natively support FLAC, still won't read FLAC tags

[s44]

Ok, I don't *know* this won't happen, but given how many revisions we're into without the media scanner properly reading tags from any audio file that's not a mp3, I'd actually be surprised if they *did* fix the bug.

I wish somebody could have embarrassed the devs during yesterday's open Q&A with this issue.

embarassed the developers who work for Google? Every product they have put out is basically still in beta. I think things they release missing crap is par for the course. I guess that's why geeks like Android so much, it really feels like a Source Forge project when you use it.

FLAC support isn't that important to me. All my music is in Apple lossless anyway, from way back when I had an iPod and it couldn't play FLAC either.

It's because no one who isn't an idiot uses FLAC on their PMP.

Hell, not even Windows natively reads FLAC tags.

Except Android doesn't even read m4a (AAC) tags properly.
