.flac files?

Wucking Fanker

Folks,

Would be eternally grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here!

Downloaded an album (legally- off davidgray.com and spent money!) off the interweb tonight. Opened up the WINRAR folder and extracted the file to my music folder. Now, I can't seem to open the file to play as it's a ".flac" file. Media Player won't play it and I was wondering if anyone might know of a player that will? Or, most importantly, can I lash it on to my Ipod or a CD to play?

I'm inexperienced when it comes to using WINRAR etc, so if anyone could take the time to spell out what I should be doing, I'd appreciate it!

Please tell me I haven't wasted my money!! :(

Mods, I wasn't sure whether this is the correct forum, so apologies if it's not and could you point me in the direction of the correct one if it isn't?

Míle buíochas!

Try VLC or Winamp then.

Sorry, don't mean to be what my name suggests! It's just frustrating cos I'm after paying for the album I downloaded and I can't play it.:(

I'll give the other suggestions a try, thanks!

Download Foobar 2000. It's a great player.
