Convert Flac to Wav - how to & HD space need?

Curious why you want to switch to WAV?

To answer your question:

Want to create CDRs(superior to original CDs) and are best done with WAV. Reff:

Also

The digital guro Steve Nugent claims WAV (or uncompressed) is superior to FLAC for "higher end"computor playback.
Something on Nugent:

Osgorth - first thanks

Are you sure there is nothing that could effect the sound going from a compressed file to CD-r VS uncompressed?

This Guy: www.genesisloudspeakers.com/wh...is recommending uncompressed after two years of research.

Compressed VS Un compressed

Here's something he wrote me in an email - I'm sure he won't mind this re-print:

"When I first started doing this, I found that any compression (lossless or not) make some sonic difference. There is a sonic signature to everything from Apple Lossless to FLAC to Monkeys. So, I have generally kept away from them."

Question: So if one goes by that, should I be I concerned To go directly from FLAC compressed to a CD-r, or better First convert the FLAC to back to Lossless?

Osgorth - I'm with you,

But what we have here is a real credible sourse thats' been researching this for 2 yrs...

Are all bits created equal? logically yes - but based on other anomolies, and other crazy exceptions in this hooby i would have to believe that they might not be in this circumstance.

No: I have not got to the stage of personal testing.

Your point is well taken.

Ok - I will start by using FLAC to make my CD-Rs using Nero as you suggested, them make one with uncompressed.

Any important settings or pifalls to using Nero?
