AudioIgniter cannot play m4a or Flac audio files on iPhone

    On my iPhone (iOS version 26.1), I see that when I run AudioIgniter playlists, all audio files with m4a or flac format do not play at all. However, mp3 files can be played.

    On the other hand, with my Android phone, all 3 formats (m4a, flac, mp3) can be played on my AudioIgniter playlists.

    Is this normal for iPhone? or is there a particular setup that I need to do on iOS or on WordPress before it works ?

    It would be a pity if my playlists can only be played on Android.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi there,

    AudioIgniter uses the system’s capabilities of audio playback, so the user’s O.S. and browser versions determine what is playable and what is not. You can find a list of popular formats and their compatibility/availability here: https://caniuse.com/?search=audio

    If you find that a file type should be supported under iOS, the issue might be the file’s encoding, such as its bit rate, sample rate (frequency), etc, especially if you’re talking about very high quality audio.
