What are flac.xml Error Messages?


General flac.xml Runtime Errors

flac.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Songbird, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Songbird is running. Here are some of the most common flac.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Songbird\gstreamer\encode-profiles\flac.xml

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your flac.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Songbird), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, flac.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Songbird, system crash while loading or saving flac.xml, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download flac.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying flac.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Pioneers of the Inevitable typically does not release Songbird XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing flac.xml and all other XML files for Songbird. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
