Hi all, I just bought the S23, and I realized that I can’t play any of my .wav music files, even though it’s songs that were extracted from CDs I bought legally! I read somewhere online that Samsung stopped supporting that format, any idea why? And more importantly, is there any solution to bypass that, or is the only solution using another app to play the music?

    Any data files are not “supported” by the phone, but rather by the music player. Music is a data file.

    You’ll have to install a Samsung Music Player (which they used to bundle but now it’s a separate installation) - people complain about “bloat” and they removed all the nice stuff. IIRC there’s no built in music player anymore.

    Personally, I think it’s one of the better music players on the market. Plays just about everything. Gives better music with Samsung devices too, when I tested it with earbuds in a comparison with 10 other music player apps using the 3.5mm jack with high end IEMs. Not a single music player came close in quality. Probably some hardware optimisation cheat they used.
