Hi Mac Friends,
please forgive me as I'm a complete noob to Mac's. I am coming from PC to Mac. I'm a large collector of music especially live music. So, I've been using FLAC with Roxio on my PC and now I'd like the same but better performance with a Mac. I've got a new MacBook Pro and recently purchased a "out of date" version of Roxio Toast 8 (which maybe the problem).
I thought I could simply drag and drop a Flac source files or CD/DVD into the audio portion of Toast and burn a audio CDR of which I can do with my PC, but I keep getting coasters and mis burns sometimes locking up the computer.
Here's my post on Roxio's Toast 8 forum (which is a ghost town)

Hey ,
I thought I would try one last effort before scrapping Toast 8 for this app. I'm trying to burn and convert from FLAC to audio CDR with T8. I upgraded the latest version and have a legit copy of Toast 8. I can play the audio from the FLAC source disc but with some drop outs occassionally, but I can't seem to simply burn a audio CDR from FLAC to play on a conventional CD player i.e. redbook standard.
I simply drag and drop the FLAC source disc into the audio "hopper" of the program, eject the source disc and insert a blank CDR to burn. However, when I do drag and drop the FLAC source files, I get a prompt stating the txt. ffp are "not supported". When I do start the burn I get:
disc failed prompt after a another prompt that says:
"Drive reported an error: Sense Key = Medium Error Sense Code = 0x02 No Seek Complete"
I thought Toast 8 would simply support FLAC ? I've been researching Apple's relationship with FLAC and it's all over the place with confusing info - so if anybody out there can help me that would be great
Sincerely,
Donnie L.
any replies and or feedback are appreciated: THANKS

so, if anybody out there can point me to a good FLAC converter that would be cool and that program doesn't have to jive with iTunes - I just want to blow this stuff down to AUDIO CD so I can do what I want with it.
Many thanks in advance to any help or replies - Donnie L.
