Do these type of files really have flawless sound?

Is there any way I can burn these types of songs on a CD and be able to play them in my car?

Any help or advice is appreciated

Flawless sound, possibly not, flac is more known for being a loss less compression meaning there is no data lost in having it in flac format.

You will need to re-rip them to audio in order to play them in a standard cd player.

Just use a professional program such as Roxio or Nero.
Roxio has build in FLAC support and all you have to do is open up audio CD project.

Add the songs you want and burn it. When it's done you can play them in your car.

Nero does not, however there is a plugin
download

Place the plugin into Nero's plugin folder
Note: different version will have different paths.

And same thing, open up Audio CD project, add songs, and burn.

The plugin kls85 posted is also free.

Basically all they do is re-encode it to wav then rip it to audio.

Good thing I already have Roxio
I'll try it out tonight once I get some blank CD's

But the audio quality will be better then mp3?

The audio quality will be cd quality, not mp3. Roxio or Nero will convert the flac files to windows wav format, and then rip it to cd audio format which is what a standard cd that you buy from a b&m shop is.

Comparison of cd audio quality vs mp3 quality. http://www.lincomatic.com/mp3/mp3quality.html

So what I will burn to CD is essentially better?

A compact disc player will only play audio CDs in the wav format. Wav is a uncompress format which provides the highest quality, a lot higher than FLAC.

Going from a lossless compress FLAC back to wav, will not improve the quality as the file is already altered.

wav is better yes, it is also larger and more unwieldy thats why you have the better encoders that drop parts of the data for compression.

I have been playing guitar for more than half my life, and I can not tell the difference between mp3 and flac audio.

You won't be able to tell the difference between .FLAC and .mp3 anyways, unless you are a true audiophile or have a high-end audio setup.

If you're going to be playing it in the car, it doesn't matter if you burned mp3 or flac; it'll sound the same.

Nope, I actually have a very good rig, I just don't really care if one encoding sounds better. When FLAC can play on all my devices then maybe, but till then, I'm still happy with mp3.

Just a note, alot of your flac that you download from PB or torrents are flac rips of mp3's. I've seen this done on many invite only sharing sites that they encode and upload for the ratio.
