I'm concerned that the original mp3 player may be resampling audio tracks on the fly. I don't think it does but when I installed oggplayer it said my phone was only capable of playing audio in mono and up to 16khz. Does that mean if I re-encode my mp3s in 16khz I will get the same end result?
Raven wrote:the original N-Gage is also a MONO phone in the sense that it is only the Music Player app and the Radio that is capable of producing stereo sound output. These two apps are separate from the rest of the system - they have their dedicated chips in the hardware. Unlike other phones like the Siemens SX1 and P800/P900 etc. which have stereo sound output implemented into the system. Like I mentioned earlier, an easy way to check this is by installing a 3rd party music player on the original - which, unlike the default Music player app, will only give you 16kHz MONO output.

Thank you for the very concise reply. I have another question: which formats other than mp3 and aac does the pre-installed music player playback and which is most faithful to wav? Thank you.
I believe MP3 and AAC are the only supported formats by the built-in music player.
