It is not the first time I noticed that Quicktime drags and fails to play a range of formats. Last time I tried to lose FLAC and APE before that - no luck.
Perhaps somebody could help with the solution or recommend a better alternatives to Quicktime.

Try installing Apple's Pro Video package. I've known cases when it worked, though it shouldn't have.
Pro Video Formats 2.3 - Apple Support
In case of considering a third-party solution, Elmedia Player is a good one to try. It supports both video and music, and plays many different formats: https://www.elmedia-video-player.com/best-music-player-mac.html
Alternatively, VOX has always been a good music player. It still is, but lately it has raised the price and the whole thing is a mess with subscriptions. - This is even something to keep in mind if you ever plan to install it.
ok, well two good options often recommended here are IINA media player and VLC media player.
I came across Swinsian music player the other day, and it looks pretty impressive.
It lists FLAC and APE support, as well as many other formats.
if you want an app for music playback, have you considered using apple's built in music app?
I'd say I'm looking for an alternative media player overall, failed to note it in the description.
Thanks! I've never heard of IINA, so I'll check out the reviews.
Quicktime is broken. Playback issue. Any good solution as for music player for mac?
