Fist I am not an APPLE fan but my wife has an IPod that I must support. Does any one have a FLAC Player they would recommend that support album art and works with MC

How about the new Sony Walkman?

You may want to consider the PonoPlayer. This is the hi res player from Neil Young's company.

You could re-image with Rockbox http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodPort

Another point about the PonoPlayer. JRiver provides software for them.

Are you asking about an iPhone app that will play FLAC files stored on the iPhone? I use Onkyo HF Player, which is a little less than perfect in that it stores all files a second time in the iPhone music folder of the laptop, rather than allowing me to choose where to save them. But it works to play FLAC files through the phone.

Why not convert files you need to play on the iPod to Apple Lossless? You can do this from within Media Center when adding files to the iPod.

That is a good, positive suggestion Awesome Donkey. ALAC is as good as FLAC from a music quality, tagging and cover art point of view, and it would allow Jazzrome's wife to use the standard iPod player.

You are Awesome!

EDIT: Doh! Your shiny awesomeness just took a hit . . . and so did mine. The OP posted this question in September last year! We must watch more carefully for resurrected threads. 
Maybe the answer will help someone else in future though.

It's a reasonable workaround to lack of native support for an open standard (end rant and positivity).
