Re: flac files to Wav?

Well first, you need to download the FLAC codec at the Codec Central link above.
Then, just open up Music Converter, point it to the flac files, set a few options, then convert away.

Just a question: Why are you wanting to convert to wav?

Re: flac files to Wav?

intersting... are you asking this because you can burn the flac files onto a cd as they are? If so... can you use the cd's for playback on any cd player?

I've just started investigating this myself... I've successfully downloaded and converted shn files to wav, now I'm finding another challenge...

Pretty much any cd burner can burn wav files to cd. These should play on any cd if you use blank cd's that the cd player can read. So a cd player that can read cd-r discs (the blank discs you usually use for burning) can be counted on to read any files burned to regular cd (.cda) format (the format almost any burner is trained to handle automatically). Many cd players can read fairly ordinary cd-r discs but this is oopen to a certain degree of trial and error. To assure that the cd you create can be read by nearly all cd players you probably want to burn your cd's to what are designated as "music cd-r's".

You can also burn discs in other formats, such as mp3 or wma or even Flac or Shorten but these cannot be played on other players unless the player can read that type of format. It is not too hard to find players that can read mp3 or wma but there may not be any that can read Shorten of Flac.
