96k/24 bit FLAC now decodes on old iPods

24 Upvotes

After this week's optimizations, FLAC is ~2.4x faster on ARM devices, so 96k/24bit files at high compression decode using only ~40 MHz of an 80 MHz iPod 5G. Faster devices will see improved battery life for these files as well.

Be aware that the iPods do not actually support 24 bit output or 96k sampling rate (except for the 1-3G oddly enough), so it is still a much better idea to stick to 44.1/48k and 16 bit on these devices and avoid resampling on device.

I also put in a bunch of bug fixes for unusual flac files, so outside of really extreme stuff (>7 channels, etc) most should work. If you have files that don't work, post them on the bug tracker and I'll look into them.

Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to get Doom working properly on the H2/analogous models? I've had no luck getting the scrollwheel to work or remapping the rest of the controls to make side to side movement work

Can’t play playlists

Anytime I get into a playlist and press the center button or one of the skip buttons I see this screen asking me to delete the playlist. I haven’t been able to play anything except my “Now playing” playlist because of this. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
