Does the BB10 devices play FLAC out of the box ?

How can I test that?

The easiest way would be by downloading the testfiles on the following page
eClassical.com 24-bit FLAC lossless Classical Music Download Store

If you have the time you could try both.
Flac16 is normal cd quality
Flac24 is high resolution.

Very curious.

Always good to actually try it on the device rather than look at the specs.

Just tried the flac_24.flac test file; media type unsupported.
flac_16 test files worked.
The test MP3 file worked also.

Interesting. Even iTunes doesn't support FLAC, and I'm not sure what the obsession is. You can't tell the difference between FLAC and 320kbps mp3, except that FLAC takes up a lot more space.

The FLAC 16 file played directly as soon as I clicked the link. The 24 file said it was unsupported.
