encephalopathy · 24 Mar 2009 at 23:10

looking for a pc flac player

currently using an addon for wmp that plays flac and ogg files, but it only will play 1 song at a time

any recommendations?

I use Winamp. Plays all my flacs just fine.

I just use WMP with no addons...

What do you mean by "it only will play 1 song at a time"?

As I remember you can't load multiple flacs into a WMP playlist, so you had to open one track at a time to play an album. Or something like that. I remember it was annoying enough to make me change to Winamp.

I can do all that with flac in WMP, the only problem I have with flac is that when you play a file from the library/playlist the seek bar does not work, for some strange reason if you open it by double clicking in explorer it works perfectly.

I dont have much music in flac though so a lot of the time I end up playing it in VLC anyway.

Additionally; foobar seemed too much like hard work (visual customization) when I tried it a while ago.

using songbird 1.1 here seems to work quite nicely

mediamonkey
great app, with excellent tagging

Winamp

foobar2000. I keep trying others but nothing has beaten my trusty foobar.

Foobar! Moved to it recently when I migrated my whole music library to FLAC. Love it.
Only niggle is the lack of a 'now playing' list...

Winamp. Easy.

Greenlizard0 · 26 Mar 2009 at 00:03

WINamp.

cheers all!
think i will have to try foobar now, had mediamonkey in past but this was before i had any flac files

winamp. foobar needs to much time spent messing around with it, before it's half decent. winamp install and you're done.
