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! Nero has a plug-in for FLAC files (located on the Nero website; link at the bottom of the FLAC page). Its free!

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).
