What the system does with it
Every system plays standard PCM WAV. WAV files that hold ADPCM, GSM or other codecs are another matter: many players refuse them.
How MP95 plays it
| iPhone & iPad | Apple’s decoder; WAV with ADPCM or other codecs gets a second chance through FFmpeg |
|---|---|
| Android | Media3 for PCM, FFmpeg for anything else |
| Mac | FFmpeg |
WAV has weak tag support, so MP95 shows the file name when there is no title. The tag editor does not write to WAV.
Supported files use a 32-bit floating-point processing path, with gapless playback and ReplayGain from compatible tags. Check the active effects and actual output rate; USB rate matching depends on the device and connection. The Hi-Fi path.
Getting WAV files onto a device
On iPhone and iPad: add a folder in Files, share the file to MP95, or drop it in over a cable. On Android: put it in your Music folder or anywhere you add with Add music folder. On Mac: point MP95 at the folder, or Open With from Finder. iPhone guide · Android guide.
