| 1238105 | 2011-10-17 19:58:00 | Most standalone players won't play FLAC It's technically not a "VLC Media File", that's just what windows labels it as because you play it in VLC. FLAC stands for Fully Lossless Audio Codec. I *would* suggest that you use whatever you ripped to FLAC with to re-rip or convert to MP3, but my money says you don't have the original CD's (anymore, of course). So, try something like Goldwave, free from goldwave.com, and it does bulk conversions :) |

| 1238106 | 2011-10-17 20:28:00 | Or pop VLC portable on the flash drive with the FLAC files, assuming they are going to be played back on a PC. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1238107 | 2011-10-17 20:45:00 | What are you going to be playing it back on? Play back on those these cheap $100 players with cd usb and radio. Great for playing background music all day long. |

| 1238109 | 2011-10-18 01:20:00 | FLAC stands for Fully Lossless Audio Codec.Free Lossless Audio Codec, actually :). I *would* suggest that you use whatever you ripped to FLAC with to re-rip or convert to MP3Why re-rip in preference to transcoding? CD drives are slow, and noting that FLAC is lossless, there's absolutely no benefit to using the original CD again. |

| 1238110 | 2011-10-18 03:00:00 | I stand corrected. I only suggested that, because if somebody is ripping to FLAC there's usually a good reason, and they understand what they're ripping it to. It's generally not the default for a CD Ripper, which would suggest they were obtained without ownership of the originals ;-) |

| 1238111 | 2011-10-18 04:31:00 | The music is on my hard drive in VLC form. I will have to leave it as I simply don't get either Goldwave or AVS.. Kind of you lads to help, thanks. |

| 1238112 | 2011-10-18 11:58:00 | The music is on my hard drive in VLC form. if it was in VLC form, it would have a .vlc extension to it, but from what i've read, you say it's a Flac file, therefore having a .flac extension, therefore it's got nothing to do with VLC. VLC is only the assigned player for that particular container. Flac is becoming supported more and more, so it should play on most devices nowadays. |
