Which sound format for music-cd?
Which conversion/format must be used before burning a music-cd. format is flac. have converted to mp3 and wav already. Will the burner do it itself? nero?
-
I rip to flac using Exact audio Copy.

Gave up on mp3 as to much music was lost and wav is just to darn big.
I will see if I can find the converter I used.

Flac-conversion to burn music-cds to run in music-cd-machines.
Which format is needed? Maybe better going to music-forum.
-
Flac is a nice lossless format. And about half the size of wav which means less storage space is used.
The final choice of format is what you can live with.
Use EAC to rip a cd to all three formats.
Listen to all 3 and let your hearing guide you'
VLC will play all 3 formats.
-
I dont know which format all the old cd-players are reading. Is there a universal format?
-
CD players read about anything, now the player has to be able to handle the different formats.
EXample: Windows media player can not play flac as it does not have the codecs.
So check this VLC list that it can handle.

I meant cd-player-machines outside pc. portable ones or music-device.

When you make a music CD the format on the disc will be determined by your burning software. In most cases the music CD will be in the format CDDA which will happen automatically and that format determnies other features such as error correction (CIRC) and modulation (EFM). The format you start with will determine the quality of the CD. For example a lossless codec will work better than a lossy codec. That is simply because the format of the file has more information to put on the CD. Burning from FLAC should give you the best Audio CD results that will work in most CD players. Please note that older CD players may not read burned discs. The laser was calibrated for the silver surface of a manufactured audio CD. That made the lasers too weak to read the darker bluish dyes of record-able discs (I think this is why they started to sell Audio CD-R's to try and compensate (l lighter dye). That has not been a problem for a long time but your player could suffer from it since you said it was old.
