clashradio Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Hello, I'm somewhat of a Download newbie. Couple of questions; [I've already convert the Zip files to FLAC] 1) why are these downloads in FLAC format as opposed to WAV? Since the quantization is the same (24b/96k) you're not saving any space by being FLAC correct? And as far as I know, any old cd player recognizes WAV. I have a cd player from 1988 and it plays my WAV cd-r's fine. 2) (on my Windows 7/64-bit computer) most of my audio programs don't recognize FLAC. The only one that does is Audacity. What's the best way to put these FLAC files onto either a DVD-A or BD? 3) rumor has it the High Res download version of Good Times Bad Times/Communication Breakdown from the Paris 10/10/69 show has a time length of 4:05, but I just downloaded it and it's the same as the cd? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote
juxtiphi Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 I use flac all the time, it is smaller than wav but not by a huge amount. GTBT/CB is listed as being 4:06 in my winamp playlist Quote
clashradio Posted November 20, 2016 Author Posted November 20, 2016 I figured out how to burn to a dvd-a Ya Wiki lists GTBT/CB at 4:05 for the download, but my download was only 3:52, just like the time on the cd. Quote

chef free Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 You can easily convert FLACs to WAVs using the free software called Trader's Little Helper. It also makes check sum files. Quote
