Re: FLAC to WAV converters

I used EAC for ripping and burning for years until I built this new computer a few months ago. Now something is wrong with EAC on this new one. I deleted it and reinstalled it two times and checked all the settings several times and it just is not reliable for burning. It only burns about 30% of the discs. What happens is it acts as though it is burning the disc, but after it writes the lead in track it does not show it writing the tracks. The message "writing lead in track" stays the entire time it runs and when the countdown gets down to 0 it keeps running and running. Clicking on cancel does nothing either then. You have to hit Ctl Alt Del and manually shut it down that way. The only good thing about this is the disc is not ruined and can be burned properly with another program. Even when it does actually burn the disc, it fails about 30% of the time ending up with a coaster. I searched and searched online for some help with this problem to no avail. Even joined the EAC forum group and asked there and got 0 responses on it. I miss using it as I was so used to using only that and I only needed one program. Now I use IMG Burn for files I rip with EAC as that one uses cuesheets, and Roxio for burning individual tracks like from torrents etc. I always hated EZCD/Roxio stuff in the past, but this new one seems OK now. I still would rather have EAC back working though. Anyone else ever have this issue with it? I kinda doubt it as I can't find a single thing online about this problem.

I've used DBpoweramp for years and never had any trouble. It was a bit tedious to first set up as you had to et the whatever for each file type flac, shn, ape etc but once set up never a burp. For any uploading and trading purposes however Traders little helper I believe is the preferred choice as it generates all the checksum files for you, fixes boundary errors, can detect if a source was originally mp3 crap.
As always though for burning and ripping the failsafe has always been EAC Exact Audio Copy.

Traders Little Helper is my favorite. Used to use Flac Frontend and also have Foobar. But I like TLH better than both of them. It is here:

So I finally came into the 21 century and did my first FLAC download from Dime of a recent Cult show to get ready for next Saturdays Boston HOB show.
Anyone have any recommendations for a free shareware FLAC to wave converter so I can burn the show to CDr?
I tried a bunch of supposedly free programs only to find out that once I downloaded them they were only partially functional and you had to "activate" (pay) for full functionality. 

Thanks in advance for any help offered
