    currently using softsqueeze to play my FLAC files on my PC

    however, I prefer the interface of media player (big list of albums)

    does anyone know a (free?) music player that looks like media player which will play FLACs

    [my assumption here is that MP10 doesn't do FLACs]

    If you use Linux, it's no brainer. You can use Rhythmbox or Amarok (and many others incidentally). Both with very good interface, much better than SoftSqueeze, which I also dislike.

    For Windows try this link.

    Foobar is where its at. Not very pretty or intuitive in its standard form, but nigh on infinitely cusomisable (if you can be bothered to customise it that is). Can use ASIO or KS plugins too.

    Winamp works fine for me. I would think MP10 should be able to play it if you install the FLAC codec on the machine?
