How to play .flac and .ogg files on your iPhone or iPod Touch

iPod

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.

  1. Once installed, you’ll have a ZodPlay/vlc4iphone icon on your iPhone/iPod Touch dashboard.

    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
