Formats detected by filetype must be correctly typed if PlayIt is to detect them because they have no internal header. Formats detected by header are detected regardless of their filetype (even if it's another sound format).



The text column indicates whether PlayIt supports annotation reading for the format. A No does not necessarily indicate that the format cannot have textual information but just that PlayIt has no knowledge of it. Information on what specific text PlayIt can return is detailed in the individual format pages.



See also the information returned by the format auto detector which provides further information on specific sub-formats that PlayIt supports form each major format.
