Orich in this forum mentioned that he is able to play FLAC files. Has somebody else in this forum been successful playing them?
Reason is that even the 2014 NBT Navigation,Entertainment,Communications Owners manual only lists the following formats as playable
on the M5 (2014) system:
DVD: DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVDR-R DL, DVD+R DL, DVD video, CD-ROM, CD-R. CD-RW, CD-DA,VCD, SVCD
Compressed audio Files: MP3, WMA, AAC
There is no mention of any lossless format. My take is that the M5 system only looks at the extention of the file and tries to play only those files, which is the reason why I chose the lossless windows media wmv music file version which has an extension of .wma and since my files were transcoded in windows media using the lossless format, not the compressed version, all aspects of the original source are present.
