Question 1

What is a FLAC file?

Accepted Answer

FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, compresses audio without permanently removing any audio information. This player accepts.flac files, and playback depends on whether your browser supports FLAC audio.

Question 2

Is my FLAC file uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Your file is played locally in your browser and is never sent to our server. The temporary browser reference to your file is removed when you replace the file, remove it, or leave the page.

Question 3

Why won’t my FLAC file play?

Accepted Answer

Your browser may not support FLAC playback. Playback can also fail if the file is damaged, incomplete, or incorrectly named. If the browser cannot load or play it, the player shows an error and stops playback. Try a different browser or convert the file to another audio format.

Question 4

Can I change the playback speed or loop the audio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After selecting a file, you can play or pause it, seek to a different position, turn looping on or off, and adjust the volume from 0% to 100%. The available playback speeds are 0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, and 2×.
