Feature Request for FLAC support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I know the ID3 plugin which is what the mp3browser is based on allows for 
looking at ID3 tags for FLACs, so wondering if support for flac could be added.

Would you consider taking a role in this, and offering a patch?

I could if I knew where in your code you filter out mp3 extension. I am not 
seeing it. I did figure it out in the old mp3browser. Just not remembering 
where it was I fixed it. I'll release it if I can figure it out.

I think you need no code change for the .flac file extension to be picked up, 
just set the "File filter" configuration (Advanced) to something like:

+\.(mp3|flac)

I verified this to work. More information about filtering can be found here:

However, the next problem is that the default Flash player 
(http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer.html) does not support FLAC.

Perhaps the following may be of help for you:

Perfect, that was the missing piece. I am not too concerned about playing the 
files, just want to make them available for download. I put the FLAC and OGG 
modules from the ID3 pack into the ID3 folder, and that allowed FLAC viewing. 
Thanks for the help.

I've added it to the wiki:
