Can't play music files on the Music app

Hi. I recently downloaded a FLAC file to play music. I can play it on other media applications, but on the Music app, it doesn't play. I set it to be the default player and whenever I double click on a song to play it, it simply opens up the Music window but doesn't actually play the song. I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks

Samson,

The Music app, like iTunes before it, cannot play FLAC files.


You will need a third party program to convert it. Or, check with the source and see if they have it in a format Music can play: MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF or WAV.
