Is anyone else having issues getting FLAC files to play using the native Music app? I was under the impression that FLAC support was native in Android and supported by the HTC app, however almost all FLAC files give me an error message stating "Unable to play this type of audio file." I have only been able to get one file to play so far. The files work fine in Poweramp, so I know the files aren't the issue.
 
This is just a wild guess but maybe it doesn't like the way you have them tagged? i.e. maybe you have APE tags in those files and it only understands ID3, or there is album art in there that is too big or something. You could check in Poweramp and maybe try stripping all the tags off and see if that makes any difference.
