.tak audio files cannot be played

[chance long]

I introduced from Google Play Store that Poweramp supports .tak files.But when I tried to play tak audio, I found it didn't work.It reminds me that playing the file failed.

 

I can use foorbar to play these files on my computer. So there is no problem with the .tak audio file itself.

 

I also tried some other software that supports tak audio.But they can't be played, or there is no sound when they are played.Some people say that it is because tak audio files are not very compatible on mobile devices.

TAK audio files can be processed by FFMPEG, so PA ought to be able to play them in theory. But it's such an esoteric and poorly supported format in the wild - 15+ years old closed-source freeware which never became mainstream - that it doesn't surprise me there are problems with it. Max would need to see a sample file to work out if there's anything he can do to code around the issues with your files.

As Tanenbaum said, "The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from; furthermore, if you do not like any of them, you can just wait for next year's model."

TAK works fine here and has been working fine for a few years at least

You seem to be using CUE to split it, check if the file referenced in that CUE sheet is your actual TAK file (with the extension and all), and it seems to have Unicode chars so make sure to save the CUE as UTF-8 with BOM

And full rescan once the changes are made

I've never used TAK with CUE data (to be fair I've never used TAK at all, nor do I have any samples of it) but another possibility that springs to mind is the accuracy of seek responses. If seeking to specific timecodes within the long file is not working, the track could fail.
