How to play FLAC on my Windows PC?

I've got some FLAC files to play my PC, but media player says that FLAC files cannot be recognized and played. It seems that I need to convert them to other file formats. Can anyone tell me what file format can preserve origin quality as well as work well with WMP, the same with iPhone 6? And what tool should I take? Better free and online cause I don't want to install anything. Thank you so much!

Well, if you're willing to install one thing, you can use the VLC media player found here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

VLC also releases applications for Android and IOS, and nativly supports almost all media file formats. This solution would enable you to use the file in its original format on your computer and not worry about conversion issues.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your advice! VLC player is good and helpful, I can use it to play FLAC on PC! Well, I want to also play files on my iPhone but not install player as it can take large memory. Thanks for your help!"

If you don't want to install anything on your computer, which means that you don't want to convert the file format. The only way for you to play the FLAC on the PC is to change to another player which will support the FLAC. You can have a try at Leawo Blu-ray Player and VLC Player. Both of them support the FLAC.

You can always work around the problem by installing a free media player - I prefer VLC, myself. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/. If that does not work, your file may be corrupted, or it may be encoded in a format Windows Media Player doesn't recognize.
