VLC is a free and open-source media player that supports a wide range of audio and video formats. It's also available on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Besides that, it can read almost all audio codecs, such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, etc. - total of 28 formats.
