MusicBringer Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 So now I've got these loverley flac files and I can play 'em on me PC. But I'd like to put 'em on me HiMD minidisc.I should be grateful if you would tell me an easy way to do this. I guess I have to convert 'em to wav or whatever first. What software does that. Nothing complicated please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 You can use dBpowerAMP Music Converter (dMC); and ensure you install the appropriate dMC FLAC codec to convert FLAC to WAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breepee2 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 If you want to preserve tag information when importing: convert to WMA Lossless. Essentially the same as FLAC, but can be used in Sonicstage. Maybe you can even convert your entire library, so that you can put them on your HiMD whenever you want (without converting all the time).

Syrius Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 ^^ Agreed. Google for JetAudio. It's a superb, non-bloatware jukebox that can encode to and from pretty much any format in the market, with the exception of MP3, but that's only a limitation of the free version. As long as you have WMP9 installed, you should be able to convert from FLAC to WMA-L without having to turn into Wav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug80 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 foobar2000 does the trick as well and it supports almost all formats. It is an amazing player as well (plus it is a tagger/cd-burner/dsp engine/etc).It needs some getting used to, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teralus Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I have been a fan of DBpower amp for ages, but I have found that it causes some flacs to decompress with errors, smalls pops and cracks...using the latest version of flac frontend is your safest bet!

mrsoul Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 You should try Flac Frontend. Quick and works like charm←Try this link for the FLAC Installer from Mike Wren: Flac Frontend and plugins for Winamp and Nero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypeters Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 A somewhat cumbersome variant, but nevertheless has it's uses:If you have a complete CD in FLAC files, but without tags and non-descriptive names like "Track 1" a combination of Nero/M-Daemon can be used. Possibly someone gives an easier way of getting exactly the same result.Download the FLAC plugin for Nero from http://www.bitburners.com/option,com_remos...c,select/id,16/and install it.Burn all the tracks from the CD to an (CD Audio) image file with Nero. This goes really fast, since it's written to HD instead of a CD.Mount that image file with Daemon Tools.Rip the CD (from the mounted image) using either SonicStage or SimpleBurner. Also this reading goes really fast, since the image file is on HD. All track information is fetched from freedb and the tracks get properly named.
