In the previous video, I have already said that the standard audio formats for Apple devices are the following AAC, AGAAC, MP3, MP3VBR, AC3, EAC3, AAX and AX+, Apple Lossless, AIFF and Vave. Video formats AVI, MLV, M4V, compression standards MGPEG, MPEG4 or H264. Often iPhone or iPad users have problems with playing flag audio files. Talking on video files, the number of supported formats is much smaller. The first thing to strike you is no support for MKV and AVI formats. iPhone supports only a few formats. If you try loading files in unsupported audio or video format, it will not be played or even loaded. If you use iTunes to load files, it will refuse to work with such unsupported formats. Users often face this problem trying to load flag audio files that no Apple device can support. You can solve this problem by converting music into a format recognized by iPhone or iPad or by installing an application that can work with such formats. If you know which format your device needs, you can use one of the many converters to work on your audio files. For example, move a V-converter, find the link in the description. To do it, install the program on your computer and start it. Add the file you want to convert and select the format for output. Click on the Start button to save your time from thinking about all of the audio and video formats, some of them certainly not supported by your device. Move a V-converter offers to convert files by device type. For example, if I have iPhone 7 and I need to convert files to be played on it, I add a file to the program, select the tab Devices, Apple, and choose my device from the list. If you don't know your device model, don't worry, the program can recognize it automatically. To enable this option, click on the icon with the magnifying glass and the program will detect devices connected to the computer. As we can see, the device we have selected is now shown in the Output Format line. That is, all files will be converted into a format compatible with this device. It's very convenient. Click Start and the flag audio file will be converted into a compatible format. In the same way, you can convert an MKV video file into a format compatible with iPhone or iPad. From App Store, you can also install alternatives to the default audio player. They can play the files in formats incompatible with the Apple standard player. You can choose a player to your taste. Among free products, I'd like to point out some names. Vox. In addition to standard formats, this audio player can work with Flag, APE, WMA, and CUE. Flag player plus.

The player supports HD 1080p in all formats as well as SRT, SSA, ASS, SMI, and other subtitled formats in almost all languages. It supports files with several audio tracks. It can increase sound volume when watching films without earphones. But it's not enough to install an alternative video player on your device to play the formats that standard players can't handle. It is because you cannot load FLAC audio files, MKV or AVI video files into iTunes in a standard way. It happens because iTunes, and accordingly iPhone or iPad, has a common library of files which default applications can access, while every third-party application has its own file library. By default, iTunes downloads files in formats compatible with default applications into the common library. That is, to be able to play a file of a different format, you should load it to the library of an application that supports it. How can you do that? Open your iPhone or iPad to the computer and start iTunes. We showed how to do it in one of our previous videos. Click on the smartphone icon in the left upper corner of the screen. In the window with information on your device, that opens, select the menu programs. Go to the bottom of the screen to Programs -> Documents. In order to add a FLAC audio file to iPhone or iPad, click on the audio player that supports this format. After that, in the documents window, click on Add File and add it to the application library. Ready? Go from the device to the application where the file was added. And you can see the file in its library. In the same way, you can add MKV or AVI video files.
