Flac File Question
What program is used to play flac files? It seems they don't play in my copy of winamp. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave Marthouse dm...@pure.net To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Flac File Question
Hi Dave, I just created a FLAC file to test this. I'm not sure what version of Winamp you're using but I'm using version 5.56 which is currently the latest version and it played the FLAC file without any problems. I didn't need to download a plug-in to play the file, as far as I know version 5.56 comes with a FLAC plug-in by default. Below are the version details of the FLAC plugin that comes with Winamp: Nullsoft FLAC Decoder Plugin 2.08 (c) 2007-2009 Nullsoft, Inc. Written by Ben Allison FLAC 1.2.1 I hope this helps.

Re: Flac File Question
Thanks Steve. I'll have tu check things out as I have an older version of winamp on an old win-me box. I don't think windows-me will handle the latest winamp version so I'll have to look at other options for that legacy box.

Re: Flac File Question
Hello, now I didn't know that Winamp now ships with a flac plug-in. I used the flac plug-in for Winamp that I had to download. Everything dealing with flac files, including how to decode them to .wav and how to encode .wav files to flac is contained at http://flac.sourceforge.net Since I'm not sure of your experience with flac files, this will give you a starting point. These are used in the trading of concert recordings, and now a few artists are offering the flac downloads as an alternative to the mp3s. Thanks a lot.

Re: Flac File Question
Winamp hs decoded FLAC natively for at least four or five years now. Gold Wave handles them seamlessly, among other programs. bruce On Fri, 9 Oct 2009 10:23:04 -0700, Matthew Bullis matthewbul...@runbox.com said: Hello, now I didn't know that Winamp now ships with a flac plug-in.
