FLAC Player For Your Windows
FLAC is nothing but a lossless audio codec that provides good audio quality and average compression. Here's how you can play .flac files.
Winamp
Winamp 5 comes with built-in FLAC support. This player supports the files of this format. And that is why I highly recommend that a system should have this version. The only thing you need to do is tick the appropriate checkbox during installation. The fact is that a lot of precautions are needed during installation process.
You can also use the "Pro" version (which costs money) to rip CDs to FLAC. To conclude it, I would say that Winamp is a decent audio player that suffers from the "kitchen sink" syndrome and at the same time it is geared up with a confused licensing scheme in the recent releases. A perfect choice if you want a general music player.
Foobar2000
Foobar2000 is a freeware audio player that at the same time provides support for FLAC. This high tech audio player is really advanced in nature and offers many advanced features as well. So I would say that it is a perfect choice of a tech-savvy personality. Yet that power comes with a cost -- the only downside of Foobar2000 is the rather steep learning curve. The process is highly complexed as far as other audio players are concerned.
Windows Media Player
best- comfort with technology1 the features are really simple. Okay now lets see how we can get .flac support in Windows Media Player. As far as the default seatings are concerned, let me tell you that WMP doesn't support FLAC playback initially, so you will need to go out and find a DirectShow filter for FLAC.
You can take the help of Xiph.org Open Source Community (look in the "Downloads" section). After installing the filter, Windows Media Player should be able to open and play .flac files.
In conclusion, Winamp is the best FLAC player as far as my recommendations are concerned.
