Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on some details about the N900's music player. Mainly, I'm wondering about the following:
1. Does it play FLAC?
2. Does it read ReplayGain tags for MP3/FLAC/WMA/OGG?
3. Does it have a decent EQ? I'd love to know the type (semiparametric, parametric, graphic) and how many bands of EQ there are...
4. Does it display embedded as well as separate (i.e. stored in a JPG file in the same folder as the music) album art?
Thanks in advance
2. I doubt it.
3. No eq.
4. Don't know.

OK, thanks for the info, guess I'll be sticking with my Cowon iAudio7 for music playback for the time being

Also, there's a album art downloader for the N900 called something like Google-album-art-downloader.

The EQ issue is kind of lame (really lame if no fix). My Dash is growing old in the tooth, but allows EQ support though Coreplayer and actually sounds very good (in spite of the USB audio adapter) and also allows pre-amp function. Surely the new chipset allows better support than my Tmo Dash.
Can media apps support an EQ, or is that part of the hardware not developed to support EQ?
I use 13ohm UE's so have a good point for audio quality reference- the Dash really does sound better than expected for audio. Ironically, it sounds WAY better than my Archos 5, which is not hard to do. A5 is great for video but sucky for audio quality.

Hi there,
2. Does it read ReplayGain tags for MP3/FLAC/WMA/OGG?

Bashing the N900 media player app for not having an EQ is like bashing a Honda Civic for not having Lambo doors.
