Still cannot import Flac into Apple's Music Application.

Apple states that Flac can be played on a MAC? I tried to import Flac into Music once I upgraded to Big Sur 11.4. Flac will not import. What's the deal?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

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

Is Apple Music on Catalina compatible with Apple Music on Big Sur I think I screwed up badly. I have been working for weeks to curate a DJ radio show, primarily on my Mac Mini using Big Sur. I got on my old MacBook Pro that can only run Catalina. I did some work on that laptop. Now I find my playlists are majorly borked and weeks of work has been lost. Work I had on my Mac mini has disappeared. Wast that a mistake to mix the two versions of Music on different Ones? About to rip my hair out because weeks of work to curate playlists just went poof.

Production Music not showing up in in FCPX 10.6.5 on Monterey a 2020 MacBook Pro M1. Even after going to 'Download Additional Content' and downloading everything there I have all the sound effects, but no music. I've had fcpx for many years on various machines and always used there long and short production music songs, which have been very good to say the least. Anyone know how to get this to show up? Thanks

Music like iTunes before it, cannot play FLAC. To play FLAC on a Mac, you can use a player such as VLC.
