Burning CD audio from FLAC files?

2009-02-03 02:10:21

Is there anything that will work directly with FLAC files and burn CD audio? I have FLAC files of a live concert, and would like to burn them as an audio CD. BUT, can anything do this without inserting gaps between tracks?

The only program I know that can actually burn without gaps is Fuerio!, but it works from MP3s.

Thanks!

If you're using Windows give Burrrn a try. It only burns gapless, so there's no setting to fiddle with to make it work.

Use foobar2000's converter using "Generate multi-track files", convert to WAV, then use ImgBurn to burn the CUE/WAV produced.

OK, seems that Burrrn is an older, out-of-date program, and some folks have had problems getting it to work. Including me. I get this:

Initializing ASPI ... OK!

I've installed an ASPI driver for use with EAC.

In Burrrn, there's an option for SPTI (whatever that is), but it just causes the program to quit. There's a RAW Driver (no idea what that is). I've got a IDE Lite-On burner and a USB Sony burner. Can't get either one to work.

No one has ever written a guide for setting up or troubleshooting Burrrn. Not even the guy who wrote the program....

Just wanna burn these FLACs to a disc for a friend. But it's a concert, so I can't have breaks between tracks.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

EDIT: I'm a freaking 'tard. I had a DVD in the drive, instead of a CD. DUH...........

Don't bother about that. You are really not the first!

Two hints:
ASPI doesn't work neither, or not very good at least with USB drives.
If you are interested to know somethong about SPTI, look here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=69048

I am surprised by the ease of using burrrn. I am delighted that FLACs can be burned without gaps, so that tracks can actually run together. I guess header info is handled differently for FLACs than for MP3s?

I have also come to find that CDBurnerXP has been updated (a lot) since I last downloaded it, and supports all sorts of things it hadn't before. I actually got to uninstall Easy CD Creator 5 (which I still used to copy audio CDs), because of the updates to CDBurnerXP.

Free software rocks.
