Title: Problems with flac in Windows 7?
Post by: NJFunk on October 31, 2009, 12:58:00 PM

Is anyone else having a problem installing flac on Windows 7?  If so, is there a solution?  Thanks.

Are you talking about FLAC Frontend?  Why not just use Trader's Little Helper instead?  It works perfectly in Windows 7 for me (so far, anyhow :))

2nd recommendation for Trader's Little Helper.  I was having problems with FLAC Frontend, too, but in Vista.  It installed and would load just fine, but was a little buggy during conversions and file testing.  After trying for too long to get it to work properly, I uninstalled it, installed TLH and haven't had a hiccup since.  Rock solid.   ;D

I am using TLH with windows 7 with no problems at all..... VLC plays back flac on win. 7 just fine too...

I believe I did, I had to register a dll if I recall correctly.
once I did that it works like it always has for me.
Now .shn is a whole different story.. but it gives me a good reason
to stay on top of my converting..

I use dbPowerAmp Music Converter:

It's free for various codecs. You should pay only for the MP3 codec...

Another fluff for BDPowerAmp.  Great tool and can convert direct from SHN to FLAC.
