Dragon player does the job fine.

Standard indeed, no changes in the defaults.

Today I had the idea to open a flac file from Amarok-->Play media. To my 
surprise, it worked!!!  So the real issue was, and still is, that in the 
playlists Amarok does not see the flacs (it says: AutorName, O tracks). This 
does not change even after reloading the list.  But I assume this is a 
different issue.... Any help on that?
