    Best FLAC Player Software for XP

    Hi guys

    I'm looking for the best FLAC player software for XP. I use Billy for MP3 http://www.sheepfriends.com/?page=billy which is really nice, simple, gapless and resource light.

    Is there a similar FLAC player around, for those times when you dont have a Squeeze with you. As above really, tiny, resource light and does gapless.

    Cheers

          If you're running XP, how resource light could it need to be?

          I still use Winamp. I can't see why you'd want to use any player that can only play a single audio format.

            I'm not sure why you say you need to find the "best" one - that search will never end.

            If you're happy to find "good" ones and then stop, both Foobar and Winamp will fill the bill.

              I like foobar it also has an easy file converter if your mp3 player won't play flac.

                  Also you might want to consider MusicIP Mixer. It's known primarily for its ability to create good playlists, but it's not a bad player either. Songbird is another one you might want to look at.
