Edit: From the comments, it appears that this only works when opening Nero through Nero Express or Nero Burning Rom. If you go through StartSmart, it may not work. I can't test this because I don't use StartSmart, it is bloated crap for the less IT inclined people to use.
I've done the required steps but still nero will not convert flac
files for burning. i've installed the flac plugin several times but
still no go. flac shows up in the options option on the audio tab
but nero will not allow burning of flac audio files. any help would
be great. i upgraded from Nero 7 and nero 7 did the flac conversion
with out problem.
Exactly same problems as dave upgrade 7 to 8 lost ability to burn flac-istalled plugin several times no go deleted nero reinstalled 8 from scratch ditto plugin shows but when adding files flac is not in list of supported formats what a pile of junk whilst i now i can recode to wave it defeats what i do in filesharing which is download flac and share elsewhere in flac you would think nero would get such a basic right SPOOKIly the problem is on my desktop running xp.. having upgraded 7 to 8 on laptop running vista (supposedly the OS WWHICH MAY CAUSE PROBS HERE) ALL IS FINE ??????? THANKS TO ALL HERE FOR INPUT ANY OTHER IDEDAS? MARTIN
I tried exactly as described but does not work I really find this
apain in the ass and do not undertsand why NERO does not have APE
and flac on board whn you buy it. this is an outrage to drop 2 of
the most popular features in music files somebody any idea
I had the same experience as Ramona with Nero 8. The FLAC plug-in
works in Nero Burning ROM and Express, but it does not work in the
Nero Start Smart burning program. In my opinion it is very
short-sighted of Nero to not provide native FLAC support. In my
experience most digital music sites that offer a lossless file
download option do so in FLAC. Sure, I can convert FLAC to WAV with
FLAC Frontend and then burn WAV to CD with Nero, but that is a
convoluted path.
worked fine with me on nero 8, all as described, the only thing i
can think that different is that i went into task manager to ensure
all of nero was closed down in step 6. Thankyou very much.
PaulH,
my contribution month ago was a serios statement, i didnt blame anybody!
Im able to put plugins in the rigth direction, but shorten (shn) is still not working here. Maybe this is because of my "Essentials"-Version of Nero 8. Same with the bug in Nero StartSmart; didnt recognise flac or shn as audio-files.
Burning flac with Express or Burning ROM works, as i said before,absolutely perfect. Thanks to James!
Curios, CD burning plugin for foobar uses Nero. With Foobars Nero component, m able to burn shns, but not with Nero...
If you are dragging and dropping the file from Zip file to the folder, it doesn't work. I did it that way first time.. it didn't work. I extracted the files to the plugins folder it worked. Incase if burning ROM doesn't work, try nero express... NERO burning ROM did not work for me but express did....... THANKS!!!
