If you have flac files as a result of your download, then MediaMonkey is what I use to play them and convert them to Mp3.

I use a program called Switch.

If you have Nero, they have a plug-in you can download that will play and record flac files.

Get the free software to decode the FLAC files here:

http://flac.sourceforge.net/

FLAC files are lossless, so when the original .wav file is encoded to FLAC for it does not lose any sound quality.

Those of you getting these shows in mp3 are getting compressed files and a loss in sound quality. The trading community frowns upon this because it's like a 2nd or 3rd generation recording being circulated.

The VLC player will play just about any type of music and video file. That is what I use for Flac files and it isn't a resource hog either.

If you want to convert them, download dbpoweramp and all of its plugins. I'm sure they have a plugin to convert flac files to anything else.
