thismight seem silly, but I was an early adopter of mp3 players. Think several years before Ipods. I never really had the need to burn too many cds. My girlfriend, however, keeps asking for cds for her cars cd player. I do have a huge collection. Most of which from artists who have a live recording policy. So sorry, no help on illegal downloads from me. So, can I give her great quality music, or will I need to convert these to mp3s? If this is the latter, what format might one suggest? Google seems to indicate that it is indeed possible.

I am probably going to burn straight from my file-sever, which is headless machine (10.4)? I do have some .cue files, but ironically they seem to point to .wav files, where the files in question are .flac files. Am I able to utilize these .cue files?


Convert MP3 folder structure to Joliet folder structure ISO image

After you have converted FLAC files to MP3 arange MP3s in folder structure (i.e. /artist/album/track) than make ISO image like this:


For those that don't need to have a command line option, K3b and Brasero are supposed to be able to do it, however I could not make the latter work on my 12.04 64 bit machine, but it's working fine with K3b.


Is there a simple, direct way to burn FLAC files to audio CDs? I would like to do it without first converting my FLAC files to a WAV format first. I am aware the official FLAC site has a list of solutions for Windows, but I was wondering if there are any other (better) ones?


I have Nero v 6.6.1.4 on Windows XP SP3, so I am not aware of an easy built-in solution without the conversion step. I don't have a preference for plugins or standalone programs, although if it's a standalone program I'd like it to have data verification built in. Free solutions are preferable.


Interested in burning 24/96 FLAC files to DVD(-R) so that they can be played on universal player in my audio system capable of playing DVD-A and DVD-V. I know I can downsample and burn to CD but that defeats the purpose of HiRes format.


I have used JRiver MC20 to burn "data" DVD with no issue. While disc WILL play back with JRMC accessing disc via DVD drive on PC (running Win7), it WILL NOT play back using Esoteric universal player which displays a "disc error" message.


[...] "Do fathers always know more than sons?" and the father said, "yes". The next question was, "Daddy, who invented the steam engine?" and the father said, "James Watt." And then the son came back with "- but why didn't James Watt's father invent it?"


Use Lplex is not complicated. On the contrary: just drag the folder with wav or flac files (to Lplex icon) and automatically create a DVD image to burn with your favorite software. No need to learn or know anything more ...


4. AnyBurn will now start writing the selected flac files to the disc. If the flac files include CD-TEXT information, it will also be written to the disc. You can see detailed progress information during writing. After the writing completes, you should see the message, "Burning completed successfully". If "Verify written data" option is set, AnyBurn will compare the data written on the disc with the source file after burning. You should see the message, "Verifying media completed successfully", if no error occurs during comparison.


I'm trying to do something that I thought would be simple. Then when I couldn't, I thought finding an answer would be simple, given all the people out there who do this all the time. Boy was I wrong. I have not found one, straightforward answer on the internet which I cannot believe.

I trying to do something very basic: for one particular album of songs by a certain band, I have ONE flac file (304 mB) which is ALL of the songs on the album, in one big file. Then it has its own CUE file, and there's an accompanying LOG file. Thats IT!!! I just want to make a CD and have all those 10 or so songs that are glued together in that one big FLAC file, separated into the 10 separate audio tracks on the final CD, which I thought was the job of the CUE sheet - to tell the CD burning software exactly where the spaces are so it can do it.

Here's what I have:

Band - Album.cue

Band - Album.flac

Band - Album.log


Not entirely sure what the .LOG file is for. It's probably definitely not standardized Audio CD format. You'd end up with a Mixed Mode CD adding that .LOG file, so you can probably disregard it. If you're going to create an Audio CD with FLAC files, you'll need to install madFLAC first before using ImgBurn to create the Audio CD.


Am new to imgburn so please be gentle, I have sucessfully created a audio cd from mp3 files, however I cant from flac files, all my flacs files have an embedded cue file, I know burrn can create an audio cd from flac files with embedded cue, will there be an option soon to enable this in imgburn. If this was introduced then imgburn for me would be so perfect and fill all my burning and converting needs.


ImgBurn already can write audio CDs from FLAC files (and practically any audio file for that matter). The trick is that you need DirectShow or ACM codec installed so ImgBurn can decompress the file to WAV. If you have a big codec pack like K-Lite Full or something like that, you should already have such a codec. Still, you could install CoreFLAC and see if that helps.


Thanks for the advice I downloaded the filter however imgburn only shows my flac file as one single track, as the flac is a album I would like it to show the individual tracks as it does in burrn, if I carry on with the process surely this will just create a audio cd with just one track.


Thanks guys it worked like a charm you are truly awasome. So correct me if am wrong basically if I have mp3s, muspack, wma files etc with a cue file I can just call up the cue file and write it to a cd to create a audio cd with all the tracks or in this case a flac file withe embedded cue. Or create a cue from audio files if they dont already have a cue file. So the key to making an audio cd is the cue file that replicates the tracks on to the cd. Looks like a bye bye to burrn.


If it's embedded (and ImgBurn supports the file type as an image - i.e. can extract the embedded CUE from the audio file)), you can just try and load/burn the audio file directly as if it were an image.


Brilliant great stuff, now the only thing I need to get me head round is write speeds, not to sure what speed to burn audio cds at and what speed to do films at or am I better just leaving it on auto, thanx lighting you are a cool dude. Thanx also to the rest of you guys you have been most helpful.


I am trying to burn an Audio CD from Apple Lossless m4a files and I get this error: ConnectFilters (Source, Sample Grabber) Failed! I installed both of these DirectShow Filters but still feceive the error when adding files to the cue file.


Often times with creating Audio CD's from files, I find random errors occur all the time. If you find one particular file format that works like FLAC, try downloading a converter for M4A and converting to FLAC. See if that works. I convert all the time for various errors and reasons with Free Audio Converter 4Dots. It supports FLAC and M4A. Often times I even have to load MP3's in it and convert them to NEW MP3's to get them to work. Big Finish Audio downloads are common problems I come across.


I tested each one and found out all that I needed to make everything work was this installer File: DCBassSource_v1.30_Installer.zip Size: 662.54 kb Date: April 03, 2013 from -worx.de/?n=15 nothing else needed and it even works with .flac files.


Hi have dBpoweramp on my iMac and have imported hundreds of CDs in the FLAC file format. However, if I want to burn some complications that I make up to a regular CD that will play in my car's CD player how can I do that?


Today I simply tried to drag-and-drop FLAC files to a blank CD on the desktop, but my car's CD player doesn't recognise the CD and won't play it. So next I used the dBpoweramp 'Music Converter' to convert some tracks to WAV CD format, then drag-drop those converted files to a blank CD on the desktop and burned that, again, doesn't play in a regular CD player, no CD player in the house or car recognise it.


You may need to create an audio format CD which is the standard kind for regular CD players. I suspect the methods you have been using are creating data CDs which are okay for computers but only supported by a few regular CD players. I'd normally recommend iTunes but it won't accept FLAC files. You can see if there are third party utilities such as Burn which will do it all in one step from FLAC files, otherwise you may need to convert to something iTunes will accept (I'd go for ALAC or AIFF over WAV) and then use iTunes to create a music CD, not a data CD.
