Off and ON. Right now, MC 12 is a single room solution for me. The
rich, configurable GUI and support for the tags I need for classical
music are essential to me.
I think that the Squeezebox is the best architecture for getting Audio
from a PC.

I could not have put it better myself.
Yet under that minimalist exterior are some very powerful tag

I don't actually play music on my desktop that much and, as WMP was
already installed, couldn't see the point in installing a second
application just to play back music (besides SoftSqueeze).
Therefore the WMP extensions seemed to make sense to me :)

I have to disagree - foobar works fine right after install.
It's plain though - if you want to make it pretty, that's when you have
to do the fiddling.

Think I'll give MusicCube a try. It has a flac plugin (also toast,
which I like from Moose). We'll see how it goes.

If you enjoy tweaking and fiddling, use Foobar. If you don't, I don't
think there's a good option on Windows.

I tried MusicIP today, which I already have. It worked fine for
playing, although I had trouble figuring out how to add songs to the
playlist. If I double-clicked an album, it replaced the current one
playing, rather than adding. It also is pretty memory-intensive.
Winamp looks nicer than foob
I agree that Foobar is pretty unfriendly, although I did work through it
to get it working. Winamp, on the other hand, is pretty easy to deal
with. I have the free version.

Foobar2000 is the best for FLAC IMO. Nice simple UI and low system
footprint too.

I've been using Softsqueeze and Slimserver to play my flac files in the
office, but it seems like a pretty memory-intensive way to go for my
laptop. Would I be better off with a simple player, like Media Monkey?
Any other suggestions for a player that can handle flac?
