I’d be surprised if there was a player around now - one that’s being developed still I mean - that wouldn’t play FLAC, I’ve been aware of the existence of FLAC ever since I became involved in the CD Archiving project some 11 years ago so its pretty standard by now. 99% of the streaming devices out there support it and I’m sure most car Entertainment systems do.
