It appears my last response to you didn't post. You can download the file FLACFILE.zip at http://www.onlinefilefolder.com user name "industrialarts" password "general". It contains a file that imports OK and one that doesn't. Thanks again for your time and interest in my problem. I would really like...

If you send me an email address that I can send a link to, I can upload it to YouSendIt, an FTP service I use for larger files. I can send you a FLAC that works in Audacity and one that doesn't work. They will be in a zip file called FLACFILES.

Oops, sorry - Super8, whoa - had a flashback to the Kennedy years there. Yes, the program you showed the link to is the program I tried. I'm not sure what I should expect to see in the detailed report, but all the file parameters that were visible were the same for any .flac file I analyzed. If you ...

Tried Super8 - which plays all my FLAC files. Didn't give me all that much info on the files and what it did give showed that all the files are the same - except, of couse, for size. Re-installed Media Monkey and it plays all the files. So it's a problem with the way Audacity handles FLAC. Thanks ev...

Some of the files I have recently ripped work OK. None of the older ones do. But I am fairly certain that there are files that w...

Thanks for the clue. It does play the piano sample just fine. So I was afraid that my backed up FLAC files on my server were all corrupt. But they all play fine on the music computer, which uses a program called 'Album Player' to play FLAC. So I kept checking and even copied some of the files I was ...

Thanks for the help, but it turns out I have upgraded to 1.3.5. But even though Audacity now claims FLAC support, it obviously doesn't. The whole point was to not have to convert to .wav. In this instance I wanted to use Audacity specifically for editing music from my CD collection, which is all sto...

Upgraded to 1.3.3 from 1.26 and still can't get FLAC to import properly. Gives me "importing MP3 files" and then the error message of "Audacity had to make a guess at the type of file. The audio may be bogus, dude." "If the audio is indeed bogus, you should totally try renaming the file so that it h...
