Is it possible to burn 24-bit FLAC files to CD?

whiskywheels · 9th October 2010, 13:14

Winamp plays my FLAC files nicely, but won't burn them to CD, and I get an error message right at the end of the setting up process. It says something unhelpful like 'there was an error in preparing these files for burning' if I remember rightly.
So, can winamp do it, or am I doing something wrong?? Looking forward to hearing from anyone in the know!

Well, in the tradition established by myself on other forums, here I am replying to my own post.
First of all, welcome to the forum whiskywheels, and well done on your first post.

I trawled through the winamp help files, and here, but couldn't find anything. However, on the B&W website I found a brief mention that 16-bit FLAC files could be burnt by Winamp, but that 24-bit couldn't as it was quite a bit more complicated. So there we are. I've burnt a few CDs from the 16bit files, and the quality is certainly very good, so I'll be searching for a way of burning 24 bit, which is even better.
