    I use Trader's Little Helper or FLAC Frontend to decode the files. Alternatively you can play them in WinAmp.

    Thomas, there are many ways to deal with this. some are fairly technical involving command line programs and all that crap. you're best off like tallliman said using Trader's Little Helper to convert the flac files back to wav format or even mp3 (whichever you prefer.) TLH is a free easy to use front end application which already has suitable versions of the wav, flac and lame (mp3) executables bundled with it. another way is just playing the files in VLC Media Player or Media Monkey. in Media Monkey's free version, you can play, burn to disc or convert them to another format. hope that helps

    I think the best program is dbPoweramp Music Converter, but as was mentioned you can always just play FLACs with a versatile player like Winamp.

    Winamp might be the best choice. Shame that it's not supported anymore - can it still be downloaded?

    I always use dbPoweramp but Traders Little Helper is fine as well. Just convert to wav. and then play on Winamp or Windows Media Player. When I opened the first song ont WMP it attached the artwork and put the album in order. It I had tried that on the shitheap that is iTunes it would have asked to convert the files and then listed it all as unknown artist, unknown album. iTunes sucks for anything but MP3s and even then they can't be expected to get the art right.

    YES! I did it this morning and got the music to play. I can't figure out how to burn it to a disc for car because WMP can't play FLAC. Is that stupid or what?

    you're welcome. glad I could help someone. there's so many different ways of doing these things, it's crazy. I've got so many programs, players and converters alike. I tend to stick with the more techie ones but will use the easier ways on occasion. once you get used to the more difficult ones, the options available are real nice to have.

    Trader's Little Helper worked like a charm, thanks! Playing Ytse Jam right now. I guess I'm not totally computer illiterate that I could do this successfully, but it was pretty easy to figure out and use.

    Definitely. Can't say I listen to them as often as I used to, but I'm sure that happens with everyone and their favorites. Listeing to Count of Tuscanny right now, sounds pretty awesome, and I never got to hear them play this on the two shows from the tour I went to, and I missed the "Black Clouds" tour entirely.

    I had lost interest in D.T. but I have to say this sounds good.

    CD Burner Express automatically converts FLAC, SHN files (losslessly, of course) prior to burning. It's free.

    I hit BURN in winamp but I didn't see any indicator that anything was happening the way WMP does,so I assumed I couldn't do it. I'll check that again maybe it was burning or about to and I aborted too soon.
