FLAC Files

What's the deal with these files. Just downloaded my motown show from 9/18 and cannot play these.

Do I need some software?

Thanks

Yup, do a search either on Google and you'll find tons of info. Suffice to say you can get a plugin for Winamp so it will play them. You can also download "FLAC Frontend" to convert them to wav and then burn them.

Okay,

I downloaded the software, and can play the songs on my computer, but cannot burn to a cd/ Any advice?

Are you putting the converted .WAV files in your software to burn a cd?

yeah.

What program do you use to burn CDs?

chicagoblackhawks77 · Fri Dec 03, 2004 7:42 am

real player.

I've never used Real Player to make CDs...have you tried burning .wav files before with it...I'm sure it handles mp3s fine (which means you just need to convert the .wav file to .mp3). You might try a different program. Windows Media Player can burn discs, or try the free Music Match Jukebox. I use the Jukebox to burn all my audio discs, never had a problem.

You could also try iTunes, it burns CDs... And if you want, it'll also convert the WAVs to MP3...
