Howdy,
It sounds like amarok and noatun need a plugin that handles flac and
don't have one. VLC has one compiled in. I believe amarok, uses the
xine libraries to play flac, but I don't know about noatun. Some
versions of the xine libraries had problems with flac files, but I think
that was fixed before your version.
To convert a flac file to a wave file, I would use a tool cleverly
called flac. Just type:
flac -d "Yes - Fragile - 01 - Roundabout.flac"
The quotes are needed because you carelessly allowed spaces in your
file names.
Good luck,
Ralph
