A friend sent me a foreign cd to sample and it has a '.cue' file and larger '.flac' file. I tried using Alcohol 120% and it wouldn't recongize the file for burning. Also can I open the '.flac' file as an audio file like a '.wav' file?
flac is a lossless compression that's half the size of wav files. You may want to try converting the file to wav first with a converter such as dbpoweramp or, the software you use for burning might offer a plug-in for flac support.
It depends on the burnning software your using. Some have plug-ins for other audio formats. I can tell you that the creator of dBpowerAMP have developed some burning software that will allow you to burn any format to Audio-CD that is suppported by dBpowerAMP. Its shareware! [bold]Nero[/bold] has a plug-in for FLAC files (located on the Nero website; link at the bottom of the FLAC page). Its free! Link to software: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/cdwriter.htm About playing the FLAC file, all you have to do is install their Direct Show filter located on there website. Also many media players have plug-ins for it. There DShow filter supports WinMedia, WinAMP 2/5, and Foobar 2000. It also installs their encoder and front-end (you don't have to use it).
