Is MD5 still a viable solution for validating the integrity of files?

I read about the MD5 collision and that MD5 is not reliable anymore, however, I'm curious if that applies when we check the integrity of files. I've noticed that tools such as the FLAC/metaflac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) still relies on MD5 for checking the data integrity of music files.
