I can't burn a CD from flac files

crogal · 11th June 2009, 19:00

Hello
I've recently installed WinAmp in order to be able to play some flac files. The files play fine but I'm unable to burn a CD from them which I believe I should be able to do. I've tried a full re-install and checked that flac support is ticked (everything is ticked, it's a full download of 552)

Advice greatly appreciated.

Techie stuff follows:

Asus KT400A-8237

AMD Athlon XP 2700+

2047MB DDR-SDRAM

Creative SB Audigy

NVidia GeForce 6200

Win XP SP3

DirectX 9.0c

WinAmp 5.52 (full install free download version)

I forgot to say that the burn process tells me that it "can't find the decoder"

crogal · 13th June 2009, 09:17

Could someone at least confirm that I should be able to do this?

Thanks

Yes, yes you should. What audio format do these flac files contain? Can you post the Format Info section from the file info box about one file that fails.

crogal · 13th June 2009, 14:30

Thanks JD. I think this is what you mean...

Length: 464 seconds
Channels: 2
Bits per sample: 24
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
File Size: 95015890 bytes
Average bitrate: 1636 kbps
Compression Ratio: 71%

As I said WinAmp happily plays them but on trying to burn them get the "can't find decoder" in the burn box.

Ah, 24-bit 48kHz. I do remember that some audio formats do have problems being converted but I thought that was encoding into MP3. Perhaps the resampler cannot covert this into 16/44.1

I have a friend who did burn these files to CD successfully using winAmp (in fact he recommended WinAmp for the job). I think something in my set-up is wrong. Or maybe my PC - I'm also having separate problems with Windows Media Player 11 following upgrade from WMP9 (keeps shutting down and blaming lame mp3 codec)
