I'm not sure this is the first to play FLAC but.......
the ZEN X-Fi2 supports multiple audio formats including the much desired Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), which delivers audio without compromising on its original quality.

That's cool!
I am looking for a new mp3 player and this should fit my requests!
I am sure this is not the first player to play FLAC files, the old iRiver can do that , perhpas without being rockboxed.
The Rockbox mod can make any player (that can be rockboxed) to play a lot of files, including our beloved FLAC.
I wonder if this Creative has a line-in and/or it can be rockboxed...

Watch out for these. I had a Creative Zen mp3 player and the thing shit the bed within a year. I got a white screen every time I turned it on and it was essentially broken for all intents and purposes. Shame because I really liked the unit when it was working.
I went with a Cowon instead and haven't looked back. It also plays FLAC files. Fantastic unit.

I have a creative zen vision m and love it! been going strong for over three years now. the wife and I both have a small zen stone for the gym etc and love those as well. I had issues with it but a firmware update fixed it.
so just adding that I've had great luck with creatives.
for the last few years I've been using a rockboxed iriver for flac in the car. that may change soon. but the 32 gig version is over $200.

I have the Nomad Jukebox Zen (20GB). The thing's 6 years old and still rocking.
