Either you use vlc player which plays any format or you search & download a windows media player plugin for FLAC

download free converting software and you can convert flac to wav (also lossless) or to MP3 if you wish
I've done that and it works like a charm; I am not on my computer that has that program on it right now and I cant recall the name of the software, but I can post it later if you want

The easiest way I've found is to download and install the free version of winamp at [www.winamp.com] and then download and install the plug-in that will allow it to play flac files, which is at [www.winamp.com]
Don't use Windows Media Player, it sucks. Works terribly, plus it compiles info about what music files are on your computer and sends the info back to Microsoft corp. If you have music on your computer you didn't buy (or that it decides you didn't buy, whether that's accurate or not), you could get sued by the recording industry.

Thank you all. I wound up going with winamp. I like it alot, in just the few minutes I've had it.
To free up some room, can I get rid of the windows media player?

Download Media Monkey. Best player ever. Easy interface as well. Easily will play FLAC and also allow you to burn FLAC files to a CD that can be played on any player without having to convert. Best of all its free. Plays almost every format you can think of.

Very illuminating!
I've got XPMedia Center and disregard Windows Media player.
Recently, I had some sound issues...like there was none! Life is hell without YouTube and New York Times multi-media.

..really?? because so far the problem with flac that I have is that I can't play it on much equipment, comparably.. it wont play in my car or on any of my home equipment, so I have to convert to something else, wav or MP3 usually, to be able to hear it all
and on playback I find it pretty hard to distinguish wav from MP3 as far as quality goes..so I don't really think it matters much which you convert to

WAV from mp3. Huge difference in sound quality. With WAV you lose none of the sound quality of the original. Well WAV is the standard CD format. I detest mp3. Only lossless such as FLAC and some others will cut it for me. Absolutely despise mp3. Would rather hear quality sound rather than free up space. And yes Media Monkey will let you burn any format to CD and play on any CD player. Its a great program. Try it out.

.. really? I can't really notice any difference
for flac stuff I've downloaded, I've been converting to wav, though, and burning in wav, since flac wont play on any of my equipment
I burn flac files straight to cdr on Roxio and it plays on everything I put it in.

ok well then I 'm doing something wrong, and yes I will try; thanks
