My friend has a file that is .flac and according to him is DTS encoded. What's the simplest way to get the file to play on his laptop? (no DTS capable receiver nearby)
 
VLC, which you can get at www.videolan.org. I don't know if it will directly play the DTS FLAC file, or if you'll need to de-FLAC it to WAV first, but you can try the FLAC straight. It can read FLAC, and it can decode DTS.
 
OK, I just tried VLC and all I get is the hiss - which I think means that its trying to decode it as a FLAC and doesn't see that it is DTS. I also changed the file extension from .flac to .wav and then .dts but neither yielded any positive results. :(

How do I "de-FLAC" this file? Do I just do a FLAC to WAV conversion?
