FLAC help needed
After years of using the FLAC front end, it got wiped out in a malware attack, and I'm trying to reinstate it. In my first attempt, the installer installed some unwanted software. In my second attempt, I downloaded the older version of FLAC Front-end, and it works up to the point where I actually ask it to decode something...then it tells me it can't find flac.exe. Which is sitting right next to it in the folder.
Can someone recommend a good, clean install of FLAC, preferably GUI based, for Win XP 32 bit? Thanks! Paul S. |

Go to the sourceforge website, that is where it originates. I was able to download the FLAC installer with "flac.exe" in it and and FLAC frontend. I would also suggest that you upgrade your OS or if needed your whole computer!! Shaun |

I've tried re-downloading the whole package of flac.exe, FLAC frontend, etc. The result? All of the sources come with malware included -- Iminent, Content Explorer, etc. Is there an uncontaminated source for a FLAC package? Peace, Paul |

Go to the original source:- sourceforge.net/projects/flac/ Graphic front end for it from he- sourceforge.net/projects/flacfrontend/?source=recommended If it's still suffering from malware when you download it and the front end from the site linked to on those pages, then the problem is elsewhere in your system. If you're up to it, you can even download the source code from that site and build the program yourself. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
