[ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...

Is FLAC supposed to work?
I'm only getting white noise when trying that.

When I first tried it I got no sound at all from FLAC files. Then I tried an MP3 which worked fine. After that, all FLAC and MP3 files now work fine.

However, only 16-bit files (44.1 and 48 kHz) seem to work. Playback aborts with 24-bit files.

Playing FLAC downconverted to 64k on HTC Incredible / Verizon over 3G.

Way Cool!!

Haven't tested extensively, but it seems to be working fine. Looking forward to testing remote playback. I have a Motorola Droid (original, but with CyanogenMod 7.0.1, so Android 2.3.3) and a Xoom (Android 3.0) and will work with both.

For those trying Flac and have problems: what bitrate/samplerate is your FLACs?
My Flacs work fine, but I only have same default 44/16.
96/24 won't work yet, as the server does not downsample with PCM and well: 96khz is just not possible on Android.
Real FLAC support coming soon, server will downsample then, whoever wants to Beta test, drop a note to support(at)squeezeplayer.com.

Cool! I'm seeing the same flac playback issue pippin mentioned. mp3 is playing perfectly fine.

I've seen several issues with shoutcast streams too: Radio Paradise wouldn't play at all. Some (eg. cool93 Fahrenheit) would kill it after playing playing some Mickey Mouse vocals :-). And some work perfectly fine (eg. idobi radio).

One more thing I observed while using our Controller app: when controlling SqueezePlayer I would get the volume popup when using the volume buttons, which usually doesn't happen in our app. Is your app pushing it to the screen, or is this Android handling it? I'm also wondering as you might need to somehow intercept the volume handler, as it needs to report back to the server too.

As of the App description Pandora does not work due to licensing issues.

Android pops up the volume indicator when you change the volume.
The App also intercepts the current volume to send it to the server.
Can you send me one of the trouble FLAC to my gmail Account?

Oh, switching from Direct Streaming to proxied streaming made Radio Paradise available.

You could enable this feature automatically on the server by setting the player pref when connecting ([ 'playerpref', 'mp3StreamingMethod', '1' ]).
