Feature Req: Opening Andless from ES File Explorer


Posted on Feb 12, 2012 by Massive Ox

Andless seems to be the only Android Player supporting cue sheets. Thanks for providing that.

I'd like to play flac/cue files over the network. Using ES File Explorer I can navigate to the respective directory on the network drives. It also allows to open files. However, Andless does not seem to be registered as an Audio Player. In the "Open with" dialog, all other music players are shown, but not Andless.

Is it possible to somehow "register" Andless as an Audio Player with Android?

I am also bothered by the lack of this feature: When I choose a file in the file manager (I'm also using ES file explorer) and ask to open it as "Audio", I'm given other options to open it as (e.g., with Moboplayer) but Andless is not an option.

Since Andless does not have built-in capabilities of reading files from network file systems, it means I can't use Andless to play music from files in my LAN.

I'm very keen to get this option. Also, to be offered Andless as an option when opening a file using Carbonite Access, ie streaming it from the Carbonite servers.

Count me in with the folks who want to open FLAC files from a samba share - currently cannot do it. FLAC on the sdcard plays fine through andLess or Meridian, but neither of those is an option for FLAC files on a LAN share.
