Huh, for some reason it works fine for opening .flac files on their own but when I try adding one to a large playlist and playing said file it crashes xmplay.

Great plugin works just fine!
just one thing i gotta ask
Seems like the files are being played without interpolation cuz i can hear a hiss everytime the highrange is not being covered by something in the song.
The other players i tested the songs sound just fine, i assume they use linear interpolation.
Could you add that option on the next update?

Why in blazes doesn't XMPlay support FLAC 'out of the box'? Cheers to Mr Luck for rectifying a stupid omission.

#49 - Andrew commented this file on 2019-01-27, 16:25:01
Wow, just wow! This plugin can even successfully handle corrupted files, that almost no other player can!

Works almost perfectly, however whenever I play FLAC files, new istance of XMPlay runs. Happens only with this specifix plugin. Can you take a look at this?

Works fine but I can't rate the flac files with stars : the rating disapears when shut down and restart the computer.

Works like a charm.

#27 - icezolation rated this file 5 stars on 2013-10-28, 03:56:58
Works great. Had no problems with multiple instances of XMPlay opening up when skipping to another track, as some reported. I deactivated the 'allow multiple instances' (see 'miscellaneous' in the options dialog), maybe this helps.

#26 - f. commented this file on 2013-10-21, 19:01:45
mine is working great

#25 - Bzun commented this file on 2013-10-19, 21:48:42
Cannot play flac. simply does nothing when double clicking a flac file, add to library or add to playlist.

#24 - bassmaniac1903 rated this file 5 stars on 2013-08-31, 14:28:57
can someone tell me why the 1st song always is tagged 1.cda and the rest are tagged correctly according to artist, album, track, title etc? Thanks

@nisbahmumtaz
To make it work that way, you need to go into the options and uncheck allow multiple instances.

#19 - ad rated this file 5 stars on 2013-01-21, 17:00:17
Works great - make sure you close all instances of XMPlay before trying to play a flac file :)

#18 - nisbahmumtaz rated this file 4 stars on 2012-07-13, 15:43:27
It works just as it should, which is to play FLAC files.

One complaint I have is that once I play a FLAC file, and decide to play another, it opens up in a new .exe, while still retaining the previously opened FLAC file.

Normally when you open up an MP3 or whatever, and open another one, the previous song is replaced with the "another one" that you just opened.

However, that does not apply here. Once that tiny problem is resolved, this plugin would probably count as flawless.

Works great, even with FLAC 1.1.4 files.

This plugin:
XMP-FLAC is based on libFLAC 1.1.2 by Josh Coalson.

Isn't time to update to FLAC 1.1.4 ?

#3 - DavidH. rated this file 5 stars on 2007-01-31, 06:52:05
Absolutely love XMPlay. Thanks!
Among the best features for my use pattern: 1) no installation required; 2) plays FLAC.

Request: Any way you could feed back the "Now Playing" to MediaMonkey? I use MM for database / tagging, and it would be great if I could see what is currently playing in XMPlay from within MM (as you can when playing from Winamp).

Thanks again for a great program.
