MPC-HC (http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net) works for me.

Indeed. MPC-HC works fine, and foobar2000 works for me as well - which is preferable to me since it's a pure audio player. AC3Filter in MPC-HC does a better 2ch downmix though.

thank you boys but Foobar don't install in win2000, seems that MPC HC don't work too.

i'm downloading MPC HC to try but do you know any other player for win2000?

edit
cool surprise: MPC HC install and works in win2000
running perfectly 24/88.2 flacs!

thanks so much you both!! :cool:

as far as I know, Cowon D2 can play flac audio files. You can give it a try. Or you may consider converting your flac file to other audio format.

Win2000... lol. :)

tell me another lossless to encode 5.1 multichannel wave please!

Win2000... lol. :)
ah, ok avivahl but my pc is slow, see some reasons why i use win2000.
i'm sure that you know some details like...
win2000 works with lots 'forbidden' programs to this system like:
DTS HD streamplayer, DTS HD audio master suite, MPC HC, SHAPlay and dozen more...big list!
install less 'shh..t' than XP, my complete system more dozen programs running have 6,20GB (only, please measure how much your C: with XP or newer with all yours programs installed and tell us)
can play mp3,wav and wmedia, and video formats in windows explorer without need to install any other program...just click and play.(is cool)
the really important: run softer in my old pc! if i install XP mess everything, lots of progs don't work, call for hundreds .dlls, is needed to install newer and heavy versions of lots of programs, the pc feel bored and slow as hell!
no need to tell that you lose lots of features that have in win2000 and for unknow reasons don't have in XP. :confused:
...my system was installed in 13/02/02...and don't break.
when was the last time that was needed to format your hd to reinstall XP or newer?!? :p
cheers! :)

Lossless WMA. :D

[raquete]

Lossless WMA. :D

lol, from micro$ucks Midzuki ?! :p

is really lossless and will run in win2000 without explode anything?!?

[Midzuki]

lol, from micro$ucks Midzuki ?! :p

It was "time for trolling" alright. :D

is really lossless and will run in win2000 without explode anything?!?

Yes, it's lossless, however MS wants you to upgrade to XP or higher, so the WMA decoder was designed to always output a stereo downmix for 5.1 Windows Media Audio (lossy or not) under Windows 2000. :mad: Worse, it accepts either stereo or 5.1 only, any other configuration between these limits "does not exist" for the WMAL codec. And of course, it does not compress as hard as FLAC or TTA.

"Resistance is futile. MLP is the way to go!" (LOL LOL LOL)

Yes, it's lossless, however MS wants you to upgrade to XP or higher,.... XP? billions of unuseds bits installeds doing nothing boring the pc and user? oh boy, end of the story....:p

"Resistance is futile. MLP is the way to go!" (LOL LOL LOL) oh yes, surcode MLP encoder works in win2000, is another very cool option and my next step is compare between .flacs or surcode MLP.
just a question to chose between sizes as both are lossless.

regards!
