Flac - Dec 2007 - Windows XP

Well, our company has dump linux OS in favor of Windows XP (deal from Dell
on new computers and OS )

So, I'm in need of a windows xp media player for ripping and burning and
playing all my flac files

Which I stored on a usb external drive.

 

Asking the group, one app for windows, would play flac and ogg files ?

Heard of some names, but not familiar with them aka: foobar or winamp or
media monkey.

 

So, what would replace my Amarok ?

 

 

Major Thanks

Richard

Oh god, Haven't used windows since the late 90's (thankfully my company 
is quite ok with me using linux, even though they are a windows shop).

Off the top of my head, the simplest way is to install directshow 
codecs, this should let all windows player programs to play FLAC/ogg 
(including windows media player).

Some examples of such codecs:

http://illiminable.com/ogg/

Actually, there is an entire list on the flac site:

http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html

Under "Players and plugins" . Includes Directshow codecs and supported
standalone players.
