Question Music not functionning

[Yotopette]

I have sound, in videos etc, but music does not function. I tried a few apps, even vlc. I downloaded some of my music from the computer to the android device. I put it in the "Music" folder. The apps I tried seem to find it, but when I tap "Play" I hear only the first note and then it stops. I have flac and mp3 files. Is it possible I put too many files and overloaded the device? How can I fix this, please?

It would help to know the brand and model number of your phone, as requested in your other thread. If you don't know it, you can find it in Settings>About Phone.

Where did you get the music files that were on your computer? Did you rip them from CDs, or download them from some website?

This would not be due to too many files on the phone.

Are these files in the device storage or on an SD card? If SD card how is it formatted? If SD card, is it adoptable storage or portable storage?

My music files come from all sorts of places. Some come from a CD, some come from the web, some come from a friend who is a musician and are his own creations... Mostly they're files I've been transferring from one device to the next one for years .

The problem seems to come from rather recent files in flac format. Removing all flac files fixed the android device. I converted some to mp3 format (using "Audacity") and put them back. It still functions.

I'm happy this is sorted, otherwise this device would have gone straight back to the seller. It is still under guarantee.

Which device was this ?

That's unusual because all of my music files are in the FLAC format ripped from CDs or purchased from Bandcamp, and they all play just fine using the Poweramp app.
