I have submitted this to DB support weeks ago. They haven't answered with anything but "we are still looking into it". They officially do not support FLAC in their player. Why I have no idea as it is now the most popular format for audio encoding worldwide. MP3 is left behind. Sure lots of MP3 exists, but no one creates them anymore and don't want to play them. They want better quality in lossless formats like FLAC (PC) and ALAC (Mac).

So DB doesn't support FLAC today. The ALAC files I have online with DB will play through other players like my iPhone, the Songbox iPhone app (which reads DB folders directly) and downloaded to my Win 10 PC notebook and played from there over any media player.

But DB's online player won't play them. It's their error and problem. They haven't fixed it. I can't play them directly from my same Win 10 notebook. They play any other way I try!
