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.

The free version of Winamp or the pay version, or does it make any
difference?

If you promise never to post to this newsgroup again, I'll send you my copy
of Winamp along with the necessary registration info.

I don't know, I've got the pay version, because I use it with my sound
systems for instruments, etc. so I don't know if the free version
supports it, I'll try to find out.

It's probably loaded with virii. (Some stuff Harry invented.)

No thanks. Learn to use your filters, but don't pretend - like some do.

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.

It looks like I'll have to download some more software to play the flac
file. Or, not download .flac files. That's always an option too!

Just installed Winamp. The current free version handles a 'flac' file. Yay!
