Hi, I recently got some flac files and they sound awesome. So I wanted to burn them to a CD to listen to on my music player. After researching some, I found two software - Burnatonce and Burrrn which could be used to burn to a CD. Now both of them work well, but when I am playing it back on my music system(or my pc), it starts playing as an audio CD without any file names or directory or track listing or anything like that. Just starts playing the songs. There is no way of identifying the tracks. I want to burn 100s of these songs onto a DVD, but not sure how I will be be able to access a particular song though.. Couple of questions here: (1) Any ideas what I may be doing wrong here. The original flac files have the names on them. (2) Any other freeware for burning flac files. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe media monkey can do that. It is like a real smart iTunes. It handles different music files and can make CD/DVDs that display music. I convert my FLAC to VBR extreme mp3s (smaller than 320 BRs but the sound the same) so I really don't know if MM can do FLAC but I think it can. Otherwise I would look to PowerAmp. They sell top of the line audio utilities. I am 100% certain they make a burner that will do the job. Are you sure you can hear the difference between a FLAC and a LAME 320 BR mp3? In therory, you probably can't. What is lost is supposidly not in the human hearing range. Not a good ear all human ears. Dogs can hear higher pitches but we can't. However, the debate goes on. I you can't you can save your self lots of headaches by going to MP3s. I checked out Media Monkey it handles FLACs. There is a free version that does not convert files and burns slowly. You could try that one out for free. Some real serious audiophyles can't here the difference between extreme quality mp3s and a wave file. I found a forum of very serious audio persons help debug the final stages of the LAME VBR versions. The assumption was they shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the wave file and the VBR mp3. They would post both the diffenences they heard plus two small sound bites one wave one mp3. They had also compared the music on the ocilascope before posting their comments. They were serious dudes. I have yet to find anyone that can tell the difference between high quality MP3s and a lossless format and be able to point out were the difference is. They only say that they can hear the difference.
