    MY Music shows "unable to find a playable file".


    Whenever I go to my music files and click a folder and hit play for mp3's it works fine but whenever I hit play for a folder with flac songs I get that error. However if I right click on a flac folder and select play with wmp it works fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Seems wmp is not your default player for the files it can play,
    Click the Start button and click on Default programs,
    Click on Set your default programs,
    Click on wmp and click on Set as default.
    You can also right click the file type your having an issue with and check the box to always open using this program then click on wmp.

    Thanks anyways but I already had it set to default player. The problem was in the registry. Somehow it got funked up so I had to go in there and fix the string value for flac.

    You mention "The problem was in the registry. Somehow it got funked up so I had to go in there and fix the string value for flac.". What was it you actually did to fix your problem? Thank-you.
