RE: Announcing unique musical telegram channel - Radio Daily
Ok, got to your channel, joined. Tried to play some songs. Most of them: No sound. I think it are the ogg formatted songs that does come through in my iPhone. Probably because ogg format is not supported by iPhone. My advise: Only use common formats like mp3, maybe mp4, or something like that. ogg is a cool format, but hardly any device or player supports it.
Hi @qsounds! Thank you very much for your comment. I never knew that it might be a problem for iPhones, and not a single subscriber comes back to me with this problem, maybe because mostly nobody of them has an iPhone. The reasons behind OGG is multiple, starting from being more compact while higher quality and ending with the standard youtube-dl feature for best-quality audio downloads m4a and auto-converts it to ogg. I will, however, try to stick with mp3/320 for more portability later on (as I see mp4 as more of a video format). P.S. Actually I think most devices support OGG and FLAC, it's more of a rare exception that some devices don't.
I know about the OGG and FLAC formats. Open standards, but not chosen by iPhone to support these natively. I think players can be downloaded on iPhone for support, but as far as I know, no native support. And yeah, mp4 is including video indeed.
Also, take a note that some songs do actually have silence in the first 5~10 seconds due to me trying not to re-convert them too many times from the source material to preserve maximum quality.
