Ripping music CD on Nero didn't get 1.4Mbps on FLAC

FLAC is a compression format, by definition it reduces the bitrate for a given file. But it's lossless, so all the information is retained, it should sound the same.

If you want constant bitrate, I think you'll want another format. If you want uncompressed, you'll want WAV iirc.
 
okay, thanks , I'll try it again under WAV and see what happens. I'll post an update
 
Oh the joy of your threads!

Nero lol WTF. Use something better and more recent. dBpoweramp is something I highly recommend.

1.4Mbps is the uncompressed CD audio. FLAC is compressed (but lossless) and depending on your FLAC compression setting the file size will change.

Don't bother with WAV as all you are doing is taking up more disc space.

Stick with FLAC...end of advice and reading from me.

Yeah ... FLAC. Recommending anything else is dumb. This was the format we all used exclusively back when What.CD was still a thing (I really miss that site). I've also heard dBpoweramp is good. I used to use XLD on the Mac back then. I just stream everything now as I don't have the time, nor the energy, for this hobby anymore. What.CD being shut down really killed my enthusiasm for it.
 
I paid for the Nero s/w. I'm not going to buy another s/w. The thing about using a s/w that you know best, is that you know where the bugs are, and you know what to expect from that s/w. If I try a new s/w, I have to start from scratch to find out what kind of bugs are in that new s/w. Ashampoo for e.g., does NOT burn the max. capacity of a blu-ray disc. So I don't want those surprise by trying / buying a new s/w
 
I'll try to take a stab at this, though you seem stuck in the mud. So you bought the software, so what?, I bought a 14.4 kbps modem, doesn't mean I still use it. Nero was outdated for ripping music 15+ years ago, and as far as I know it still is out of date for that purpose. dbPoweramp, EAC and others introduced error checking and anyone who cared dumped Nero a decade plus ago for those options. If you care about the file output, and accuracy compared to the CD original Nero isn't the software you want. Learn something new.
 
yup that^^
i paid for nero once too, in 2002....
or just stick with the flac, that is working exactly how it should.

Yeah a Nero disc came with every Lite On, LG, HP, Sony, NEC, Plextor burner that I ever bought, including the Lightscribe versions.
I think I "actually" bought it at BB after I got 8x Creative burner (that didn't ship with Nero) and found out that WMP sucked ass.
