At first it was called vlc4iphone, now it’s called ZodPlay, and at some point in the not too distant future it will once again be called vlc4phone (naming history details can be found here). Regardless of its name, it can play .ogg and .flac files – something which a number of us have been hoping against hope would happen some day.
Yes ZodPlay/vlc4iphone is currently in beta, for beta tester members only – but it will be available to the public soon at http://www.zodttd.com. It’s also worth noting that ZodPlay/vlc4iphone can also play FLV, XviD, H264, MPEG4, AAC and many other audio/video formats will be supported soon.
- Once installed, you’ll have a ZodPlay/vlc4iphone icon on your iPhone/iPod Touch dashboard.
- Upload your music files to /var/mobile/Media/zodplay/ (or /vlc4iphone depending on the version)
- And once you launch ZodPlay/vlc4iphone the files will be available to play, or add to playlists.
- Select a file to play…
- and away you go. Finally, ogg and flac files can play on an iPhone/iPod Touch.
This is for a hacked iPhone right?
Не покупаю айфон пока только из-за НЕ корректной поддержки lossless формата, flac, ape, wv .. отдавать 20тысяч только за то, чтобы поговорить и потыкать на экранчик на мой взгляд это сумасшествие. Очень надеюсь, что к концу лета, ну к началу этой зимы айфон таки научится понимать не только свой эппл лосслесс
will this FLAC program work on the new 3G iphone? thanks in advance for your reply.
Anyone know if this works on the iPhone 3g yet? Been a few months since Bob asked and was hoping for some help too.
cheers
Shame you have to jailbreak to get this.

“Shame you have to jailbreak to get this.”
What’s wrong with jailbreaking it? It’s easy and expands the functionality of the iphone/ipod touch exponentially. If I couldn’t jailbreak it, I wouldn’t even own it.
rolls20s, I completely agree with you about Jail breaking… but I am a technoid, probably like yourself. The reason it’s a shame this needs jailbrokeness to work, is the same reason Linux for the desktop has languished- non-technoids don’t understand how to work it effectively, and thus the software and the format it represents won’t reach full adaptation. The iPhone is a marvel in it’s out-of-the-box state because it’s usable by anyone, just like the iPod was. Jailbreak it, and it might have more features, but Grandma and Uncle Tom won’t know how to properly use it anymore, or how to fix it if something goes haywire.
Alex: It’s not the developer’s fault –it’s almost certain apple’s evil policy, who obviously want ipod/itunes to be the only music player on their devices
