I went to alt.binaries.sounds.lossless.classical and ran into a 'flac' file
extension.

Anybody know what will open a file with that extension? WMP, Divx, and
IrfanView won't touch it.

My mp3 player and the software that comes with it supports flac. It's the
format I use when I'm auditioning a new cd on the portable player.
