Please HELP with FLAC files
Sorry if this question has already been asked here many times
previously, but I'm quite frustrated and don't know what else to do other than asking for help here. I just received some FLAC music files on a CD-R through a trade with someone, but so far unfortunately they're completely useless to me until I can convert them to WAV files that I can then burn to a new CD-R. Could anyone who can please help? It'll be greatly appreciated - thanks. The trader told me to go to http://flac.sourceforge.net/, and so I did, and then went to its download page. I downloaded "FLAC 1.1.2 for Windows with installer" (because my PC runs on Windows XP), but when I tried running/opening the FLAC112A.EXE file that resulted, I get the following "NSIS Error" message - "The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus." So then I tried downloading "FLAC 1.1.2 for Windows (tools only)" (because I don't know what the hell else to do!), and also tried downloading older versions such as 1.1.1, but maddeningly, none of them work! I get these ZIP files that I have to extract (or extract from - or whatever the hell you call it), then find that I have a few different application/executable files (and a bunch of other files), but when I try clicking on each of them, all I get is a quick flash of a black window that disappears as soon as it appears. So what the hell do I try now? I have already spent much more time on this than I really should have to (including having to write this lengthy message), and again, I'm now quite frustrated. So again, could anyone who can please try to help me? It'll be greatly appreciated - thanks. |

I've never used it to convert a FLAC file, but this freeware might be worth
a try: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...r/1041539980/1 (It's a 13 MB download.) If the link expires, the software is GX Transcoder. Addres scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

It's quite small. http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm With this program you will be able to convert your FLAC files into the WAV format. Tip: Make sure you specify a different "Output directory" (espescially if you are converting straight from the CD-R) |
