Enabling FLAC playback in Windows Media Player

APM · 8 Mar 2016 at 13:25

Is the easiest way to enable FLAC playback in WMP to install the full K-Lite codec pack?

Is this a silly question then?

I'm on foobar2000 now though I find organising playlists is a bit tedious,how is music bee for that?

MusicBee looks more like it.

Nice to know,I'm still on 7 as I like a little control over what my PC does,probably kidding myself there.

I tried the Windows 10 upgrade when it was first offered last year but have been using Fedora on that machine since,also been considering trying OpenSuse KDE but haven't got around to it yet.

Getting Win10 upgrade nag screens every day on this machine now,if it wasn't for MS office I think I'd be a full linux user by now.

Always VM's

Latency issues too I guess.

Can I add a question about MusicBee in here too,which is,

if you have both 16 bit and 24 bit files will MusicBee play them both back as a matter of course or do you have to adjust the settings for the player or your set up every time?

Cheers

Thanks,

I have a few flac files now which I think are all 16 bit,of course now I see 24 bit files too so all good if playing both doesn't involve more input from me apart from hitting the play button.
