I have been using MPC to listen to flac files on my main system. Everything was fine until I installed Adobe's CS Master Collection then I started to get an error message (quoted below). I searched around a bit and found some instructions for enabling AMR files in Quicktime. I updated Quicktime and made sure that the AMR file formats were selected but I am still getting the error message from MPC.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
Thank

I don't know anything about AMR files or how you're relating them to FLAC files, but your problem isn't a file association one, which is all configuring QuickTime to play AMR files does. ;-)
You can keep MPC from trying to use the mentioned "MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Splitter" to see if FLAC files will play again. Don't worry, this will only affect MPC and nothing else on your system.
In MPC's Options...
Select External Filters on the left
Click the Add Filter button on the right
Find "MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Splitter" in the list
Select it and hit OK, which should put it into the External Filters list
It should already be checked and selected, so tick the Block radio button on the right
Hit OK to save the options
Now try playing a FLAC file and see if it works, and let me know how it goes.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Your suggestion seems to have done the trick. FLAC files are playing properly again.
Thanks for your help.
Ah, glad to hear it. Thanks for the update!
