 Windows Media Player does not play FLAC files when first installed. However you can add FLAC playback to Windows Media Player quickly and easily.
Install DirectShow filter
1. Download madFlac and unpack it to your C drive from the RAR archive here. If you need a unpacker for RAR archives we suggest the freeware 7-Zip, available here.
2. Install madFlac by double-clicking on install.bat. You can remove it by double-clicking on uninstall.bat at any time.
Windows Media Player should now be able to play back FLAC files

Windows Media Player needs additional help if it is to read any additional information stored with FLAC files, such as composer, album title, performer etc.

Windows Media Player should now be able to read and edit FLAC file information (where present)
