Beosound Ouverture not playing FLAC or mp3 CDs

9 replies

Hello guys i'm new here and please forguve me for my bad english...

i've recently purchased my first b&o product, it have some default but i'ts working (well the tape deck is working at a lower speed than the normal one but that's not the subject) i wanted to do a playlist with FLAC files, Cdburnerxp and some old CD's (RW) and when i load it on the beosound, it only spin for 2 seconds and then stops and display "CD <>" i tested the same procedure with MP3 files in the burning software and even with the most basic settings it refuses to spin longer and play it...

I have only one idea, i think i'ts because i'ts a rewritable cd and not a CD R... Please help :(
Hi and welcome to Beoworld! Does the Ouverture play normal music CDs? Does the CD laser track across the disc in a straight line, or a curved-path?

Technicaly the FLAC or MP3 files are changed to CDA files when the cd is burned so the beosound could play it in theory or even in the CDA format it couldn't. Idk i checked some of my in store buyed cd and the only thing that change is that the cd is in a reading only format (cdfs)
