I cannot play Flac Files

(1/3) > >>

cshl:
Please help a senior citizen.

I have a collection of Philip's 180 CD Mozart Collection. I cannot play the Flac Files.

Files are listed as this:

   FLAC- 1412kbps - 61.7MB - 16 bit - 44100Hz.

The file plays with white noise.

What should I be doing to play these types of files?

Thanks in advance for your help.

FLAC files should play just fine with MC.  I wonder if this might be related to your playback device.  Are you using a bluetooth speaker or other bluetooth device?

Do other files play fine?  If so, can you give details on one or two files that *do* play?

Thanks,

Brian.

You are a very smart person. Yes I am using a Bowers and Wilkins A5 wireless speaker which is connect via Airport Extreme.

Just today I was playing classical music just fine. I should also add that I am using a software named Airfoil which controls my music distribution.

Here are examples of files I played today without any problems.

The Prestige Collection

Adagio para cuerda.......APE 684kbps  34.5MB  16 bit    44100 Hz

A Rose is still a Rose......FLAC  927kbps     29.5MB   16 bit       44100Hz

Max Bruch Adagio...........FLAC  515kkbps  40.0MB     16 bit       44100Hz

The Greatest Singer Songwriter - She No Lady       FLAC 840kbps    460MB     16 bit   44100Hz

Gregorian Chant     APE      467kbps   3.2MB    16 bit     44100Hz

Thanks again for your help re this matter

Kid Twist:
Did you purchase Airfoil? I believe the software is free to use for a limited time, then it switches over to white noise unless you start a new playback session or pay for a license.

cshl:
I purchased Airfoil, however I have removed it completely now. The problem still exists.

There are a few things that I wanted to do to make sure that the files I am working with were first of all playable. By elimination process, I downloaded a few players to see if the files are playable.
VLC - plays, but white noise.
VOX - plays but white Noise
Elmedia - plays but white noise
Swinsian - Plays beautifully No white Noise. So the file is ok
Audirvana - Plays beautifully. No white noise.So the file is OK

S we have a file that works and plays.

Any more suggestions?
