Full Version: Decompressing FLAC files to WAVs
Hydrogenaudio Forums > Lossless Audio Compression > FLAC

Hi, I'm kinda new with loseless codecs. I downloaded an album in FLAC and i want to decompress it to WAVs files. What's the best tool to make this ?
I know about DBpowerAMP, in fact i use it to convert other audio types, but I don't know if its good decompressing FLAC files. If not, what others programs do you recommend ?

Thanx!

FLAC is lossless, therefore any decoder which does not decode to the original wav files would be flawed; dBPowerAmp should work fine, foobar2000 can do it, too. Winamp with plugins should be ok..

etc, etc..

Might you care to elaborate on that comment? In what way is it more professional?

Give him a break, I'm sure he's didn't meant the word "professional", Flac frontend it's a easier tool to usefro decoding to wav, by no means of "professional"
(unless you refers to as a bundle with flac) smile.gif

I said that just becouse the flac frontend uses the original DOS window to decode the flac files, not just a simple bar like dbpoweramp, besides its an "official" FLAC tool. Anyways, it was just a personal comment, it doesn't mean its better or worse, i guess its the same though.


edit: hey, don't kill the newbie crying.gif

if you ask me, the "simple bar", is more profesional than the DOS (lookings wise)...
