Do you want to just play them, or are you looking to convert them to mp3?

I use Mediamonkey (www.mediamonkey.com) which converts almost anything to almost anything else. It supports FLAC as well

I actually spent a tenner and got a lifetime licence for it as well, although I do know where to find some more

Usually takes about 10 minutes to convert an album, depends what else I'm doing at the time

IIRC FLAC is actually a great codec as its lossless?

Not really for use in portables though. Just too big to be practical.
