Anyone found a workaround for playing lossless audio in WMC?

    As of the last couple of builds, third party codecs seem locked out of WMC. As you may know, prior, it was possible to add a third party tag support plugin for lossless, then play .APE, .WV, .FLAC, etc. within WMC. Now, it is no longer possible. Has anyone figured out a workaround?

    Thanks,

    Having no problems - Klite Mega Codec pack + Winamp with some plugins + MPC and everything is playable. I don't use WMP though.

    I was referring to playing lossless within Windows Media Center specifically. MS claims no codec restrictions in W7 final; I certainly hope so.
