Help with Flac files.

[showtime]

How do I play flac files on my computer? Is there something I need to download?

Yes, just d/l winamp, and add the songs to your library, works like a champ.

Here is Mac OSX info:

The following app can transcode from just about any format to any other format, and it does it speedily and easily, let's you do big batches of files at once, etc. Has a nice interface, very customizable.

Great for converting SHN/FLAC > mp3.

Program is called 'Max' - here's the link:

For simple playing of FLAC files (plus many other audio/video formats) on Mac, I recommend the open source, stable, and lightweight VLC:

Edit - others may recommend xact for mac. It works, but is rather clunky and slow in my experience. The above mentioned programs are light years ahead of xact in terms of functionality, speed, and presentation.
