As specified in the supported format list, you have to install the Flac extension in order to play .flac files. Unfortunately, there are no maven artifacts for this extension, it needs to be built manually, which you can find instructions here.

Alternatively, you can use the FFmpeg extension, which supports a ton of formats, but it needs to be built manually as well.

@Guichaguri thanks, i will check it :)

@cinder92 Were you able to add support for other extensions?

[Guichaguri]

Here are all the alternatives:

• Compiling and using the Flac extension
• Compiling and using the FFmpeg extension
• Switching to another format, such as .wav, .ogg or .mp3
• Using an unofficial pre-compiled build which might work for you, but they are untrusted and are not constantly being updated. Use at your own risk.
