Excellent! It just works, just install it as it says in the readme.txt. It works by its own. You just play your files in the WMP after that.

Just Great. Could not play some flac files downloaded from the internet in my WMP. Just installed the madflac, double clicked on the files and they were playing well.

Simple and effective. Love It.
