hah, well I just bought a new pair of headphones but missed this thread. But I wasn't going to deliberate too much because they say that just lowers your enjoyment of the eventual purchase and I knew it was guaranteed to be an upgrade over my previous pair. Not sure how much of that stuff is snake oil anyway (NEW DUOFAL DIAPHRAGM TECHNOLOGY!!!) so the only thing I paid attention to was what range it was supposed to be good for.

But this seems like the appropriate thread for my question. Does anyone know a good .flac player? VLC plays them but I'd like at least a minimal interface, and to not have to manually select the next song.
