MPEG-1 Audio Layer 1 (MP1) is an earlier, simpler version of the MPEG audio standard. MP1 is mostly obsolete, but still supported. MP1 was part of the Digital Compact Cassette format. Almost all files that were MP1 were replaced by the newer MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (MP2) and MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III (MP3) file formats.
Due to MP1 being largely obsolete, VLC media player is the best option for opening an MP1 file, with the bonus that this player works across platforms.
Other great media players for opening MP1 include Windows Media Player, Awave Studio, Winamp, and jetAudio.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format that shrinks an audio file’s size, which, as the word “lossless” in the name implies, results in no loss in audio quality or original data. FLAC accomplishes this by using an algorithm that compresses the file to approximately 50 to 70 percent of its original size.
The default program for opening a FLAC file is VLC media player. Other details about FLAC include that it is unpatented, permits music reproduction, is compatible with Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI), and is not subject to digital rights management (DRM).
Additionally, codecs that can implement FLAC include FFmpeg, Flake and FLACCL for encoding, and Audiocogs for decoding. Lastly, as the word “free” in the name suggests, FLAC is open-source software.
