I stuck a USB drive in that had both .mp3 and .flac files on it.
To my surprise it actually played the .flac file, well kind of. It would play between a minute to a minute and a half then go to the next song. I presume it has something to do with file size also if you scroll through the info screen on the Sync it displays the file as .wav and not .flac
So there must be some weird decoding going on even though .wav and .flac are both technically lossless.
Also the file sounds pretty hollow not much low end from the .flac but the mp3s on the same USB are just fine.
I put the USB in my Android Unit and it plays them just fine both .mp3 and .flac without cutting the .flac files short.

Kind of interesting
