| flac files are higher quality, so you'll lose some in transferring to .mp3.
foobar2000 is a free audio player with some built in conversion tools. _________________  |

Correct. You want to convert them to .wav and then burn to CD. A flac file is the same exact quality as a CD, just in a zipped format. The final burned CD will be identical to the original._________________ |

| I use Goldwave for converting those from flac to wav (batch processing option). |

| I tried the foobar thang, but it only let me convert to 64kbps (or whatever the tag is). Goldwave worked great though  THANKS! _________________ |

| It's been awhile since I've had to use Windows software for this stuff, been using a Mac for a couple years now and I'm never looking back. _________________ |
