I have been using a program called Burrrn to burn FLAC files, but some of the files are just one file which includes the whole CD, most times there is a cue sheet that accompanies the file which track marks the files individually, but the program Burrrn often brings up an error saying that it requires a wave file after trying to add the cue file.
So the way round this is to convert the FLAC to WAVE, and keep the resulting wave file in the same folder as the FLAC, then when yoou add the cue file to Burrrn it then accepts all the files individually.
But now to my question, and that is because Burrrn is reading and writing from the WAVE file and not the FLAC in this instance I would like to know that when converting FLAC to Wave, does the resulting Wave file remain in the same audio quality of the original flac file?
burrrn decodes to wav on-the-fly, so no need to convert to wav..Perhaps you have a bad CUE file...Flac with CUE embedded or seperate works with Burrrn....And no there is no quality loss when going from lossless-->lossless..
I wasn't burning from a CD, I had one FLAC file, plus a cue sheet, both done by someone else, I downloaded these, and to use Burrrn to burn a CD and have the tracks separated.
The trouble is Burrrn would not accept the cue, a message appeared saying it was looking for a wave file, why would it ask this as it was a flac file and not a wave file I was wanting to burn.
So the reason I converted the flac to wave is that is the only way that Burrrn will accept the cue file.
Hi labtech!, and no, I did not misunderstand your post..You have a flac+Cue file..If properly created, burrrn works...Since you didn't rip from CD and create a CUE yourself,source files maybe?
For clarity, ALL formats are converted to wave files on the fly for any kind of conversion. Audio CDs are in their own format so there is a conversion that takes place.
NEVER assume what you download is correct. You don't know howmany nitwitts have touched it. You just have to hope it is right.
It is impossible and foolish to try to make an app that does everything. You have to comply with the requirements.
