Normally the FLAC plugin for XMMS is installed with a package, but some of the <ahref="download.html">binary builds</a> have a compiled plugin. All that is necessary is to copy <spanclass="code">libxmms-flac.so</span> to the directory where XMMS looks for input plugins (usually <spanclass="code">/usr/lib/xmms/Input</span> or <spanclass="code">$HOME/.xmms/Input</span>). There is nothing else to configure. Make sure to restart XMMS before trying to play any <spanclass="code">.flac</span> files.

Since Winamp 5.31, Nullsoft has supplied a FLAC plugin with their Full install; nothing else is needed to get FLAC to play in Wnamp.<br/>
<br/>
Before Winamp 5.31 it was necessary to use our FLAC plugin. If you have an older version of Winamp, our plugin is still available in the <ahref="http://cyberial.com/flacinstaller.asp">FLAC Installer for Windows</a>. The Winamp plugin should work for both Winamp2 and Winamp5. All that is necessary is to copy <spanclass="code">in_flac.dll</span> to the <spanclass="code">Plugins/</span> directory of your Winamp installation. There is nothing else to configure. Make sure to restart Winamp before trying to play any <spanclass="code">.flac</span> files.
